Note that disk_free_space() does an open_basedir check.
disk_free_space
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)
disk_free_space — Returns available space on filesystem or disk partition
Description
float disk_free_space
( string
$directory
)Given a string containing a directory, this function will return the number of bytes available on the corresponding filesystem or disk partition.
Parameters
-
directory -
A directory of the filesystem or disk partition.
Note:
Given a file name instead of a directory, the behaviour of the function is unspecified and may differ between operating systems and PHP versions.
Return Values
Returns the number of available bytes as a float
or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 disk_free_space() example
<?php
// $df contains the number of bytes available on "/"
$df = disk_free_space("/");
// On Windows:
$df_c = disk_free_space("C:");
$df_d = disk_free_space("D:");
?>
Notes
Note: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

Nice, but please be aware of the prefixes.
SI specifies a lower case 'k' as 1'000 prefix.
It doesn't make sense to use an upper case 'K' as binary prefix,
while the decimal Mega (M and following) prefixes in SI are uppercase.
Furthermore, there are REAL binary prefixes since a few years.
Do it the (newest and recommended) "IEC" way:
KB's are calculated decimal; power of 10 (1000 bytes each)
KiB's are calculated binary; power of 2 (1024 bytes each).
The same goes for MB, MiB and so on...
Feel free to read:

Transformation is possible WITHOUT using loops:
<?php
$bytes = disk_free_space(".");
$si_prefix = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB' );
$base = 1024;
$class = min((int)log($bytes , $base) , count($si_prefix) - 1);
echo $bytes . '<br />';
echo sprintf('%1.2f' , $bytes / pow($base,$class)) . ' ' . $si_prefix[$class] . '<br />';
?>

Another easy way to convert bytes to human readable sizes would be this:
<?php
function HumanSize($Bytes)
{
$Type=array("", "kilo", "mega", "giga", "tera", "peta", "exa", "zetta", "yotta");
$Index=0;
while($Bytes>=1024)
{
$Bytes/=1024;
$Index++;
}
return("".$Bytes." ".$Type[$Index]."bytes");
}
?>
It simply takes the $Bytes and divides it by 1024 bytes untill it's no longer over or equal to 1024, meanwhile it increases the $Index to allocate which suffix belongs to the return (adding 'bytes' to the end to save some space).
You can easily modify it so it's shorter, but I made it so it's more clearer.

A cleaner and more efficient way of making human readable file sizes:
<?php
function decodeSize( $bytes )
{
$types = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB' );
for( $i = 0; $bytes >= 1024 && $i < ( count( $types ) -1 ); $bytes /= 1024, $i++ );
return( round( $bytes, 2 ) . " " . $types[$i] );
}
?>

List all drives, free space, total space and percentage free.
<?
for ($i = 67; $i <= 90; $i++)
{
$drive = chr($i);
if (is_dir($drive.':'))
{
$freespace = disk_free_space($drive.':');
$total_space = disk_total_space($drive.':');
$percentage_free = $freespace ? round($freespace / $total_space, 2) * 100 : 0;
echo $drive.': '.to_readble_size($freespace).' / '.to_readble_size($total_space).' ['.$percentage_free.'%]<br />';
}
}
function to_readble_size($size)
{
switch (true)
{
case ($size > 1000000000000):
$size /= 1000000000000;
$suffix = 'TB';
break;
case ($size > 1000000000):
$size /= 1000000000;
$suffix = 'GB';
break;
case ($size > 1000000):
$size /= 1000000;
$suffix = 'MB';
break;
case ($size > 1000):
$size /= 1000;
$suffix = 'KB';
break;
default:
$suffix = 'B';
}
return round($size, 2).$suffix;
}
?>

Note that you should not rely on this function on linux BTRFS filesystems.read the FAQ for more info

and also you can know the used space , in this
example :
<?
function disk_used_space($drive)
{
return disk_total_space("$drive:") - disk_free_space("$drive:");
}
echo disk_used_space('C');
?>

This the right function is:
function formatSize($size){
switch (true){
case ($size > 1099511627776):
$size /= 1099511627776;
$suffix = 'TB';
break;
case ($size > 1073741824):
$size /= 1073741824;
$suffix = 'GB';
break;
case ($size > 1048576):
$size /= 1048576;
$suffix = 'MB';
break;
case ($size > 1024):
$size /= 1024;
$suffix = 'KB';
break;
default:
$suffix = 'B';
}
return round($size, 2).$suffix;
}
