Count number of files in a folder

[Anon]

I have a main folder, and in the main folder are more folders, and each of those folders contain a number of files. I would like to know a way to count all of the the files from all of the folders in the main folder. If someone could explain to me how to do this and show the exact code to use, they would make my day. Thanks very much!

Try this
<?php
function countFiles($base_dir, $dir)
{
$num_files = 0;
if (is_dir("$dir"))
if ($handle = opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false)
{
if (is_dir("$file"))
{
if (($file != ".") and ($file != ".." ))
{
$num_files += countFiles($base_dir, $dir . "/" . $file);
}
}
else
{
$num_files++;
}

		}
	}

return $num_files;
}

$base_dir = $DOCUMENT_ROOT;
$num = countFiles($base_dir, ".");

echo $num;

?>
