Get number of files in a folder

[Omirion]

Hello,

 

Is there a way for php 5.2.5 to return the number of files in a folder?

I have used this before...I'm sure there are other ways.

 

$dir    = '/tmp';

$files1 = scandir($dir);

$number = count($files1);

 

echo $number;

By using scandir built in function. Put the data from that into an array then counting the elements of the array.

<?php
$bob = scandir("images/");
$count = count($bob);
echo $count;
?> 

Of course you will want to sort out of the array the directory listing as well.

$bob = scandir("images/");
$count = count($bob);
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) // Loops through $bob
   {
      if(is_file($bob[$i]))
      {
      	array_push($bob_2,bob[$i]); // adds an array element to $bob_2 only if not a folder and is a file
      }
   }

$count = count($bob_2);
echo $count;
