Directory Content Size
For dynamic sites that log activity in the public document area, it is prudent to occasionally get a list of directories and the total size of the files they contain. Log files may quickly get so large they need to be removed.
The Directory Content Size software (source code below) can provide a list of directories and their content size.
Directory Content Size has another use. When moving a domain to a different server, a directory list obtained from the old server can be compared to a directory list obtained from the new server. If any on the old server list are absent on the new server list, you'll know which directories still need to be moved.
Directory Content Size is PHP software. Here is the source code:

This software will determine the total size of files within the directory you specify and, optionally, its subdirectories.
</p>
<p>
Specify the directory:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
To specify the current directory, the directory where this software is installed, leave this blank.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
To specify the document root directory, specify only "/" (no quotes).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Otherwise, specify the directory relative to the document root.

Save the above as ServerDirectories.php or other appropriate name ending with .php
Upload the ServerDirectories.php file to the server. Then, type its URL into your browser's address bar.
You'll see a page with a text field to specify the directory to scan, scanning its subdirectories being optional.
-
To specify the current directory, the directory where ServerDirectories.php is installed, leave the field blank.
-
To specify the document root directory, specify only a slash character, / (The document root is the directory where the domain's main or index page is located.)
-
Otherwise, specify the directory relative to the document root. (That would be the URL to the directory with the http and domain name removed. Example:
http://example.com/books/ is specified as /books/)
To scan the specified directory and also its subdirectories, check the "And all subdirectories" checkbox.
Click the "List Directories" button.
After the button is clicked, the Directory Content Size software will list each directory and its content size. Following the list is a count of number of directories that were scanned and the total of the content sizes.
That's all it takes. Clicking the button will scan the specified directory and, optionally, all its subdirectories. Then print the results.
