[RESOLVED] I have no clue - array/variables/count

[saint4]

hi

I have no clues about arrays or dir functions. :o

$dir would be the folder i'm checking for files in. I wish to count the number of files in a folder - if it has files inside then it gives the number of files, if there are no files in the folder then i wish it to display 0.

No matter what i do i end up with a bunch of 1s or 0s.

Please help

$open = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($cFold = readdir($open))) {
$count = array("something" => $cFold[0]);

   echo count($count['something']);
   }
   closedir($open);

$dir = 'directory/to/be/opened/';
$d = dir($dir);
$count = 0;
while(false!=($entry=$d->read()))
{
  if($entry!='.' && $entry != '..')
  {
    // If we're not looking at directory pointers '.' and '..'
    if(is_file($dir.$entry))
    {
      $count++;
    }
  }
}
$d->close();
echo $count;

Would that work? Or, if you'd like a recursive function I can point you towards one...
