how to create a folder in php and limit the upload in that folder

Question

i want so set a limit on a folder which is being created by the user:

according to script below:

$root = "/users/homedir/";
if (!is_dir($root))
{
    @mkdir("users/homedir/", 0777);

The folder homedir should contain max 20 Mb of storage. If this is reached, the user can not upload into that folder anymore. How can i set those 20 Mb limit to that folder when it is created?

You can't set the limit on folder creation. You will need to monitor the size of the directory via other code. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/478121/php-get-directory-size — skrilled, Apr 21 '16 at 19:17

You can't set a limit at the time of creation, but you can check the directory size along with the size of the file being uploaded, and limit based on those values.
