Counting Files In A Directory

[ledtear]

Given the following files in the same directory:

int_1.jpg
int_2.jpg
sta_1.jpg
spr_1.jpg
spr_2.jpg
spr_3.jpg

I would like to, individually, count the number of images given their prefix - so what I would return is:

int = 2
sta = 1
spr_ 3

How would i go about this? Thanks!

<?php
$files = array( 

"int_1.jpg", "int_2.jpg", "sta_1.jpg", "spr_1.jpg", "spr_2.jpg", "spr_3.jpg" );

foreach( $files AS $f ) {
    $new[] = substr( $f, 0, strrpos( $f, "_" ) );
} 
foreach( array_count_values( $new ) AS $key => $val ) {
    echo "$key - > $val <br />";
} 

?>

Thanks - but I want to count these files directly from the directory folder that they actually exist in - so all I need to do is add them image to the folder and it will be accounted for... make sense?

you can use the
glob()
function to load the file names into an array as $files array,
$files=glob("music/*.jpg");

then the program gives you back the $key( is the unique file names) and $val (is the format's number) pairs..
