[SOLVED] Counting Directories

[pugboy]

On my site, I would like to have a live count of how many accounts were created. An account just consist of a folder with the files in it... I need to count how many folders are in the directory, so how would I do this?

Taken from the manual, with a very slight modification (http://www.php.net/class.dir):

 

<?php
$i = 0;
$d = dir("/etc/php5");
echo "Handle: " . $d->handle . "\n";
echo "Path: " . $d->path . "\n";
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
   if (is_dir($entry)) {
      $i++;
   }
}
$d->close();

echo "Number of directories: " . $i;
?>

Cool, thanks! Should have looked there first

 

Uh oh... Errors

 

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(..) is not within the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/var/tmp:/var/www/errors:/usr/share/php:/home/vol4/xxxx/flpsm_1828562/xxxxxx/htdocs) in /home/vol4/xxxxx/flpsm_1828562/xxxxx/htdocs/index.php on line 40

 

I put in the x's because I would like to keep the site private for now

looks like php has safe mode turned on.  Which means that unless the directory you're trying to read is one of those listed, you can't.

Drat. I guess I will be moving hosts
