How to count all files in a folder with extension .mp3?

Meilad

Hey there.

Been looking this up a bit and managed to come across this.

<?
$dir = '/FOLDER/';
$filecount = 0;
$d = dir($dir);
while ($f = $d->read()) {
if(($f!= ".") && ($f!= "..")) {
if(!is_dir($f)) $filecount++;
}
}
echo 'there are ',$filecount,' files in this folder';
?>

Just wondering if it's possible to modify this to count all files within the folder set in $dir, along with sub directories, and only files with a specified extension. ie. MP3.

Cheers 😃

Yes. Do you know how to check if a filename has a given extension?

dunn if this will work but after you grab this file name run

   if (eregi("\.mp3", $filename)){
then do ur echo statement or whatever

}

i believe if u set it up right this will work

Filename: beachboys.mp3.wav

what about using
eregi ".mp3$"

That would work...and so would substr($filename, -3, 3) (that will get the last three letters of the filename, and since mp3 is a 3 letter extension, it can easily be checked)
