<?
###################################
$filelist['dirs'][0] = $Path;
$makePath = $Path . $subPath;
@chdir($makePath);
$here = opendir('.');
###################################

while ($file = readdir($here)) {
if (is_dir($file) && ($file != "." && $file != "..")) {
$filelist['dirs'][count($filelist['dirs'])] = $file;

}

if (is_file($file) && ($file != "." && $file != "..")) {
$filelist['files'][count($filelist['files'])] = $file;
}
} closedir($here);

?>

/////////////////////////////////////////////
Just feed the above script the variables for $Path and $subPath ie:
$Path = '/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/htdocs';
$subPath = '/files'; //->note subpath is optional

and then test the array $filelist['files']
like so:

<?
if (!is_array($filelist['files'])) {
echo "no files found!";
}
?>

This is one way:

$dir = opendir('directory');
$num = 0;
while ($file = readdir($dir)) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$num++;
break;
}
}

if ($num == 0) print "Directory is not empty";
