bytes_readable(number);

// tom 2005
function bytes_readable($bytes)
{         switch ($bytes) {
          case ($bytes < 1024):
               $read_bytes=$bytes; $abv='b';
          break;
          case ($bytes < 1048576):
               $read_bytes=round ($bytes/1024); $abv='k';
          break;
          case ($bytes < 1073741824):
               $read_bytes=round($bytes/1048576); $abv='M';
          break;
          case ($bytes > 1073741824):
               $read_bytes=round ($bytes/1073741824); $abv='g';
          break;
          }
    return ($read_bytes.$abv);
