> Get it? Bytes? Bites?

Nomnom handles file size conversion for PHP 5.3+. It handles both binary (base 2) and metric (base 10) conversions. It provides a simple interface for converting between sizes of any similar base!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A Nomnom object is constructed with a "start" value that will be converted. Two methods are defined on this object: `from` and `to`. Each of these methods takes a metric or binary unit to convert from/to.

The `to` method takes an optional `precision` value to specify how many significant digits to keep in the result.

```
$nomnom = new Nomnom(1440000);

//metric conversion to 1.44
$mb = $nomnom->from('B')->to('MB', 2);

$nomnom = new Nomnom(1024);

//binary conversion to 1
$kb = $nomnom->from('KiB')->to('MiB');

//convert a file size
$filesize = new Filesize('/path/to/file.txt');
$mb = $filesize->to('MB');
```

As a convenience, Nomnom provides a factory method called `nom` and constants for the metric and binary units.

```
//returns 1.44
Nomnom::nom(1440000)->from(Nomnom::BYTES)->to(Nomnom::MB, 2);

//factory for Filesize
Nomnom::file('/path/to/file.txt')->to(Nomnom::MB);
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

'B' refers to bytes in either base 10 or base 2.

Nomnom will throw a `ConversionException` if the `from` and `to` methods contain units for different bases, i.e no `$nomnom->from('KiB')->to('MB');`

Nomnom requires the bcmath extension to handle greater precision.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

To run the tests, make sure dependencies have been installed with `composer install --dev` and run:

```
vendor/bin/phpunit test/
```
