Counting Folders

[steveangelis]

<?PHP
$dir = "modules/";
$count = count(glob("" . $dir));
echo $count;
?>

I hav a script I use to count files but now I want to minipulate it to count folders and I am not sure what else to do here.  It does not count the folders.  Does anyone know why?

Valid flags:

 

    * GLOB_MARK - Adds a slash to each directory returned

    * GLOB_NOSORT - Return files as they appear in the directory (no sorting)

    * GLOB_NOCHECK - Return the search pattern if no files matching it were found

    * GLOB_NOESCAPE - Backslashes do not quote metacharacters

    * GLOB_BRACE - Expands {a,b,c} to match 'a', 'b', or 'c'

    * GLOB_ONLYDIR - Return only directory entries which match the pattern

    * GLOB_ERR - Stop on read errors (like unreadable directories), by default errors are ignored.

 

From the glob manaul. Add the GLOB_ONLYDIR as the second parameter to your glob to get only directories.

<?PHP

$dir = "styles";

foreach (count(glob($dir . "*", GLOB_ONLYDIR )) as $filename)

{

echo $filename;

}

?>

 

With this now I am trying to get the name of each of the folders.  What do I change here?

Ok, take a step back and what do you want, as I do not think you know.

 

You want to count the directories but now you want it to pull out file names? You are contradicting yourself.

 

<?php

$dir = "modules/";
$dirCount = count(glob($dir, GLOB_ONLYDIR));
echo "Number of directories under {$dir} is {$dirCount}<br />";

foreach (glob($dir . "*") as $filename) {
    echo $filename . "<br />";
}

?>

 

So if that is not what you want, what exactly do you want? As I took it from this:

I hav a script I use to count files but now I want to minipulate it to count folders

 

Tells me that the above code I just posted solves your problem...
