Here is the fastest way to retreive an integer size from a value coming from your php.ini file :
<?php
function ini_get_size($sName)
{
    $sSize = ini_get($sName);
    $sUnit = substr($sSize, -1);
    $iSize = (int) substr($sSize, 0, -1);
    switch (strtoupper($sUnit))
    {
        case 'Y' : $iSize *= 1024; // Yotta
        case 'Z' : $iSize *= 1024; // Zetta
        case 'E' : $iSize *= 1024; // Exa
        case 'P' : $iSize *= 1024; // Peta
        case 'T' : $iSize *= 1024; // Tera
        case 'G' : $iSize *= 1024; // Giga
        case 'M' : $iSize *= 1024; // Mega
        case 'K' : $iSize *= 1024; // kilo
    };
    return $iSize;
}

// example
echo ini_get_size('post_max_size'); // e.g. 8388608 instead of 8M
?>
Let's just hope PHP will live long enough to see petabytes and yottabytes ;o)
