Calculate file sizes in a webpage

[PHTech]

Hey...

Is there a way to calculate the size of any file in a webpage (ASP or HTML)..? Or even if there is a JavaScript to this it would be cool...

The reason why I want to do this is that I want to monitor the size of a database on our intranet, and within one page, I want to draw up like a statistics page.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanx...!

Use the Length property of the System.IO.FileInfo class in .NET:

System.IO.FileInfo dbFile = new System.IO.FileInfo("path to database file");
dbFile.Length;

EDIT: It will return the size of the file in bytes.

With PHP: http://za.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php

int filesize  ( string $filename  )

Well, we haven't answered the OP yet... He requested ASP (presuming classic?) or HTML (a big HUH? to that). So the .NET and PHP answers are probably a no-no...

EDIT: JavaScript would be very difficult to implement in this case. JavaScript is a client side scripting language, which allows you to execute some scripts in the client's browser AFTER the page has been processed and sent through. You need a server side solution to determine the size of the database file, seeing as the web application will (presumably) be hosted on a server that has access to the database file.
