First timer php help?

[Guest]

Im quite new to the php scene and am trying to develop my site using php.Got a few books and done a few tuts.

 

But where i am stuck is, i need a script that can display on my site so say if a folder on my server has a file in it or not :S

 

e.g if the folder has test.jpg in it the site will say folder full and if there is nothing in the folder to display folder empty.

 

 

Hope ya's can help

 

Many thanks

You can use this:

 

<?php
$dir = 'directory';
echo (count(glob("$dir/*")) === 0) ? "$dir is empty" : "$dit is not empty";
?> 

 

Hope it helps

Would a function like the following work too? Might use this if it does.

<?php
directoryExists($dir)
       {
              return (count(glob("$dir/*")) === 0) ? "$dir is empty" : "$dir is not empty"
       }
?>
