Count number of folders.

[phpSensei]

How do you count the number of folders in a directory?

[teng84]

foreach (glob("*") as $filename) {

    echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";++$ctr;

} echo $ctr;

//or

<?php

// Note that !== did not exist until 4.0.0-RC2

 

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {

    echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";

    echo "Files:\n";

 

    /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

        echo "$file\n ";

++$ctr;

    }

echo $ctr;

    closedir($handle);

}

theres actually lots of way of doing this stuff

In PHP5

<?php
$dirs=0;
$x=".";
$y=scandir($x);
foreach($y as $z){
if(is_dir($z)){
	$dirs++;
}
}
echo "There are <b>$dirs</b> in directory $x";
?>

I know this post is very old but it may be useful for someone.

 

$folder = 'folder1/folder2';

echo (count(glob("$folder/*",GLOB_ONLYDIR)));
