如何仅将字节值转换为GB而非KB/MB（适配ChartJS）

Got it, let's tweak your function to always return values in GB—perfect for ChartJS where consistent units are key! Your original code automatically picks the "best" unit (like KB/MB), but we can simplify it to lock in GB exclusively.

Modified Function #

function formatBytesToGB($size) {
    // Convert bytes directly to GB (1 GB = 1024^3 bytes)
    $gbValue = $size / pow(1024, 3);
    // Format to 2 decimal places and append GB unit
    return number_format($gbValue, 2) . " GB";
}

How It Works #

• Instead of calculating a dynamic $factor to pick units, we hardcode the conversion to GB: dividing by 1024^3 (since 1GB = 1024MB, 1MB=1024KB, 1KB=1024B).
• number_format($gbValue, 2) ensures you get a clean, consistent 2-decimal output which works great for ChartJS data labels or tooltips.

Example Outputs #

• Input: 1073741824 (1GB) → Output: 1.00 GB
• Input: 536870912 (512MB) → Output: 0.50 GB
• Input: 1024 (1KB) → Output: 0.00 GB

This keeps all your data in the same unit, so ChartJS can render a smooth, easy-to-read scale without unit inconsistencies.
