How to echo the number of pictures I have in a folder.

How would I write PHP code to echo the number of pictures I have in a folder on my hosting account?

 

Thanks in advance.

This should get you started

$dir = new DirectoryIterator(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
    if (!$fileinfo->isDot()) {
        var_dump($fileinfo->getFilename());
    }
}

Do I put my folder path (ebayimg/ipod) in place of: " __FILE__ "?  What do I write to echo the value?

Found this code that works well:

<?php 
    // integer starts at 0 before counting
    $i = 0; 
    $dir = 'ebayimg/ipod/';
    if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
        while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false){
            if (!in_array($file, array('.', '..')) && !is_dir($dir.$file)) 
                $i++;
        }
    }
    // prints out how many were in the directory
    echo "There were $i files";
?>
