Q: 

Convert kilobytes to bytes in PHP

Hi, how can I convert kilobytes to bytes in php? Let's say I get the value 22.2 kb and I want to return this in bytes.

Thanks, Max

This sounds like homework, but 1Kb = 1024 bytes, so you should be able to determine the equation.

"Multiply by 1000", you mean.

A kilobyte in decimal format is 1000, but for nearly all software purposes you need the binary format which is 1024. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

If you're ever confused for comparable values, you can always google "1 megabyte in kilobytes" and it will return the comparative value.
