Library to parse, format and convert byte units

byte-units's Issues

bits support

What about supporting bits?

Addition of an 'Ini' system

As a third unit system:

• The Ini system that is based on a 1024-byte kilobyte and uses case-insensitive PHP INI suffixes (K, M, G)

// Implicit selection through parsing
ByteUnits\parse('8K'); // it's an instance of ByteUnits\Ini

It's an uncommon format, but a common problem:

• http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php#refsect1-function.ini-get-examples
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13076480/php-get-actual-maximum-upload-size

Having the solution in a nice, well-tested package such as this, rather than developers copying and pasting the above code and then rewriting tests (or worse, not!) would be useful.

Get the number of bytes

I'd like to be able to get the number of bytes like ByteUnits\parse('10MB')->getBytes().

Maybe this is possible but I am not seeing it.

get number of Bytes as integer

Is there a nice way to get the number of bytes?

I use the following up to now...

(int) rtrim(\ByteUnits\parse('10 GiB')->format('B'), 'B')

Space between numeric and scale

Is there a way to format output with a space between the numeric and the scale, e.g. 123 MB?

Release new version every

Hi @gabrielelana,

Can you please release new version on GitHub? You have merged a few pull requests since last release which forces us to use "dev-master" dependency in composer :(

Thank you!

Unit conversions

Hi

Thanks for a nice library. I'd like to be able to do something like this:

Binary::megabytes(15360)->as('GB'); // result = (int)15

If I gave this a go at some point would you accept a PR? Any advice on how you would prefer it to work?

Thanks,
Mike
