dir count

[Anon]

I want to specify the path to a directory and be able to count all the files and directories in there all the way to the end...

eg.

/path/to/dir/

files in that dir
something.html
whatever.html

dirs in that dir
images
buttons
html
pages

and also be able to find out how many files in those directories without switching...

I want to be able to print out how many directories and files on my server, but not list them...

eg..

You have 1292 directories
You have 28,082 files

can someone help write the code, i'm sorta still a newbie

readdir() will let you read all the directory entries;
then you simply look at each entry in turn. If
it's a file, you just count it; if it's a directory
you recursively repeat the process. is_dir()
will tell you if it's a directory or not.
