I agree with Adam.  When you're out of space is too late to detect it, 
and PHP is the wrong place to try.

All of my servers monitor disk space (and other things) and send me an 
email when anything gets too far out of whack, even if the web server 
isn't running.  It's all done with freely available tools at the OS level.
