Item Count

[timmah1]

Simple question

How do I count and display how many items are in a folder?

Consider this modification to the manual example for opendir():
[code]
<?php
$dir = "/etc/php5/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
$count = 0;
if (is_dir($dir)) {
  if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
      while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
          ++$count;
      }
      closedir($dh);
  }
}

echo "$count items found!";
?>
[/code]
