Honestly, the right answer here is to set up a monitoring system that
will alert you if disk space becomes low — trying to deal with this after
the disk has already filled up is a bad idea, since at that point you've
already lost the ability to write files, logs, database files et cetera.

Trying to do this inline in a PHP script is the wrong tool for the job.
