Counting files

[furious5]

Basically I need to return the number of files from a directory, I was given a function to do way more than this but at the moment I seem to have written myself an infinite loop:

function get_files($section, $res=array()) { 

$tfile = 0; 
$dirs  = array("/hsphere/local/home/pics/$section/" ); 

echo "\n\nTOTAL FILES: ".$tfile."\n\n";



   if($id = opendir($dir)) { 
      while(false !== ($arch = readdir($id))){ 
         if($arch != "." && $arch != "..") { 
            if(is_dir($dir.$arch)) { 
               $res = get_files($dir.$arch."/", $res); 
            } 
            else { 
               $res[] = $dir.$arch; 
            } 
         } 
      } 
      closedir($id); 
   } 

   foreach($dirs as $d) { 
   $files = get_files($girl); 
   foreach($files as $file) { 
	  $tfile++; 
		} 
	} 
   return $tfile; 
}

This could be a simple implementation:

function numFiles($dir) {
	if (is_dir($dir)) {
		$num = 0;
		if ($dir_handle = opendir($dir)) {
			while (($file = readdir($dir_handle)) !== false) {
				if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
					$num += numFiles($file);
				}
			}
		}
		return $num;
	}
	elseif (is_file($dir)) {
		return 1;
	}
	else {
		return 0;
	}
}

Thank you, that looks perfect.
