php file count inc subdirectories

[thebluebus]

hi, wondered if you may be able to help me.
I'm trying to write a php script to count the number of files within a folder and its subdirectories

<?php
$count = 0;
foreach( glob( "images/*.*" ) as $filename ) {
$count++;
}
echo $count;
?>

but it only counts files in the one folder. How do i make it include subdirectories?

thanks 🙂

You could make it recursive, e.g.,

function countFiles($path) {
    $count = 0;
    foreach (glob($path) as $filename) {
        if (is_dir($filename)) {
            $count += countFiles($filename . '/*');
        } elseif (is_file($filename)) {
            ++$count;
        }
    }
    return $count;
}
