//if the filesize has between 7 an 9 characters then its in Mb
if (strlen($get_file_size) <= 9 && strlen($get_file_size) >= 7)
{
$get_file_size = number_format($get_file_size / 1048576,1);
return “$get_file_size MB”;
}
//10 characters or over means Gb
elseif (strlen($get_file_size) >= 10)
{
$get_file_size = number_format($get_file_size / 1073741824,1);
return “$get_file_size GB”;
