Finding number of files in a directory

Trid3nt

Is there a PHP function that will tell me the number of files in a directory that have a certain extension? Or, even better, a function that will take all the files with a given extension that are in a given directory and put their filenames in an array. Thanks!

You can find your problem solved in here:

I have a tendency to miss things, however, I don't see anywhere on that page where it mentions my problem. Is there a way to look at more posts by users than there are listed on this first page? If not, I'm still lost....

<?php
if ($dir = @opendir("/tmp")) {
  count = 0;
  while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== FALSE) {
    $count++;
  }  

  closedir($dir);
  print($count . ' files');
}
?>

Thanks, I'll try that! But what about putting it into an array? Is that possible?

<?php
if ($dir = @opendir("/tmp")) {
  while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== FALSE) {
    $arrayoffiles[count($arrayoffiles)] = $file;
    //$arrayoffiles[count($arrayoffiles)] = $dir . $file;
  }  

  closedir($dir);
}
?>

<?
function GetFilesList ($dir)
         {

       $handle=opendir($dir);
       while ($file = readdir($handle))

            if(!is_dir($file) && $file!="." &&  $file!="..")
              $Fileslist[$file]=$file;

     closedir($handle);
     return $Fileslist;
     }

echo "total:".count(GetFilesList ("."));
?>

Thank you very much! I'm going to test this out sometime this week and get it rolling. The help is MUCH appreciated!
