COunt files code

[donster]

I am trying to find a way to extract the number of files in each directory.

Below is an example of what I have thus far that I can extract for one specified file

<?php

$total= count(glob('/root/path/to/my/websites/public/folder/*'));
echo "<table><tr><td width=\"100\">";
echo "Folder one";
echo "</td><td>";
echo $total;
echo "</td></tr></table>";

?>

Let's say I want to display the number of file for each directory on a site.

Is there a way to get this information without having to repeat the code above for each directory I want to display?

Thanks, Donster

As far as the ability to access more than one directory, no. However, if you create a function, then all you have to do is call the function for each directory.

You could also make the function recursive. If you combine your code with glob($path, GLOB_ONLYDIR), you could iterate through not only the "current" directory, but through every child directory as well. I don't have time to write the code now, but if you need help with this concept, let me know, and I'll come up with something (unless someone else does first).

Good Luck!

<?php
function count_files($dir,&$retval) {
    if(!is_dir($dir)) 
        return FALSE;
    if(!is_array($retval)) 
        return FALSE;

$dh = opendir($dir);
if(!$dh)
    return FALSE;

$retval[$dir] = 0;

while(FALSE !== ($entry = readdir($dh))) {
    if(!ereg('^\.',$entry)) {
        $temp = $dir . '/' . $entry;
        if(is_dir($temp)) {
            count_files($temp,$retval);
        } else {
            $retval[$dir]++;
        }
    } //end for
} //end while
} //end readdir
?>

EDIT: made the code a bit more efficient
