[RESOLVED] count files in dir

[zzz]

Is there a quick and dirty way to count how many files are in a directory?

This snippet should return the # of files in the directory the script is running in. You could modify it accordingly.

$num_of_files = 0;
if( $handle = opendir( '.' ) ){
  while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $handle ) ) ){
    if( $file != "." && $file != ".." ){
      $num_of_files++;
    }
  }
  closedir( $handle );
}

Or if you wanted to list the files at some point:

if( $handle = opendir( '.' ) ){
  while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $handle ) ) ){
    if( $file != "." && $file != ".." ){
      if( !isset( $files ) ){
        $files = array(1 => $file );
      } else {
        $files[] = $file;
      }
    }
  }
  closedir( $handle );
}

$num_of_files = count( $files );

Just guesses - not tested, nor am I accountable for syntax :quiet:
