Problems with a small script

[Anon]

Hi,

i found the below file on this board a while ago.. i edited it a bit and it worked fine on windows.. now im trying to use it on linux and i get no errors but it just doesnt work properly..
it is supossed to count the amount of files in a directory.. in linux it just returns 0 every time.

<?
$dir = "/home/httpd/htdocs/texts/windows/";
$d = dir($dir);
$i=0;
while($entry=$d->read()) {
if(is_file($entry)) {
$i++;
}
}
echo "(<b>$i</b>)";
$d->close();
?>

any ideas as to how i can get it to work? or sujest a better method of counting files in a directory?

Thank you.

give this a go:

$path = "/home/httpd/htdocs/texts/windows/";
chdir($path);
$main = opendir($path);
while($file=readdir($main) {
$count++;
}
echo "$count";
$closedir($main);
?>

$path = "/home/httpd/htdocs/texts/windows/";
chdir($path);
$main = opendir($path);
while($file=readdir($main)) {
$count++;
}
echo "$count";
$closedir($path);
?>

forgot the second closing peren after main. Also, you have to close the $path not $main.
I should work after the changes.
