Counting Files

[Guest MrLeN]

I have a directory that has files in it like this:

 

1.txt

2.txt

3.txt

etc

 

and inside each file is a word:

 

subscribed

unsubscribed

 

ie:

 

So inside 1.txt is subscribed

Then inside 2.txt is unsubscribed

etc

 

I want to read the directory, get the files and display some code like this:

 

There are 20 members (ie: 20 text files that say either subscribed or unsubscribed).

15 of the members are not subscried.

5 of the members are subscribed.

 

I've been working on this for hours.. here's my best effort. The code doesn't result in errors, but it is spitting out the wrong information. So I have come here to ask for help

if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$dir = '/home/promoter/public_html/referrals/' . $_GET['id'];
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "role.txt") {
            //echo "$entry\n";
            $dir = '/home/promoter/public_html/referrals/' . $_GET['id'] . "/" . $entry;
            $result = file_get_contents($dir );
echo $result . "<br />";
$str = $result;
echo substr_count($str,'subscribe') . "<br />";
 
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
}

Note each file 1.txt, 2.txt, etc represents a member (whether they are subscribed or not) -- in case that wasn't clear in my explanation

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you want to count the content within files and not the files themselves.

 

EDIT Again: In pseudo code, this should be what you want, ya?

 

numSubscribed = 0
numUnsubscribed = 0

while loop through files
    content = file_get_contents(file)

    if (content == 'subscribed')
        numSubscribed++
    else if (content == 'unsubscribed')
        numUnsubscribed++
endwhile

You will need to use separate counters

if (isset($_GET['id']))
{
    // initialize counters to zero
    $SubscribedMembers = 0;
    $UnSubscribedMembers = 0;

    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $dir = '/home/promoter/public_html/referrals/' . basename($_GET['id']);
    if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
        while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
            if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "role.txt") {
                //echo "$entry\n";
                $path = "$dir/$entry";
                $result = file_get_contents($path);

                switch(trim($result))
                {
                    // increment subscribed couter, if the contents of the file is "subscribed"
                    case 'subscribed':
                        $SubscribedMembers++;
                    break;

                    //  increment unsubscribed couter, if the contents of the file is "unsubscribed"
                    case 'unsubscribed':
                    default:
                        $UnSubscribedMembers++;
                    break;
                } 
            }
        }
        closedir($handle);
    }

    // calculate total members
    $totalMembers = $SubscribedMembers + $UnSubscribedMembers;

    // output results
    echo "
    There are $totalMembers members.<br />
    $UnSubscribedMembers of the members are not subscried.<br />
    $SubscribedMembers of the members are subscribed.";
} 

However storing whether each member is subscribed or not in separate text files is very efficient. It will be better if you used a database of some kind, be it a csv/xml file or SQL database.

Ch0cu3r meant to say "storing whether each member is subscribed or not in separate text files is very inefficient."
