count files in a directory

[laredotornado]

Hello, Using PHP 4, is there a fucntion that counts the files in a
given directory? You can assume there are no sub-directories within
this directory and hence, no files within the sub-directories.

Thanks for any functions or one-liners. - Dave

Hi Dave,

You could use readdir to accomplish this.
Example:

<?php
function countFiles($str DirName)
{
if ($hndDir = opendir($strDir Name))
{
$intCount = 0;
while (false !== ($strFilename = readdir($hndDir )))
{
if ($strFilename != "." && $strFilename != "..")
{
$intCount++;
}
}
closedir($hndDi r);
}
else
{
$intCount = -1;
}

return $intCount;
}

echo countFiles("C:\ \Temp");
?>

HTH.
Peter.

<?php

$dh=opendir($di rname);
while ($dave=readdir( $dh))
{
print "$dave <br>";
}
closedir ($dh);

I missed the bit where you said count .

<?php

$cnt=0;
$dirname="demo" ;
$dh = opendir($dirnam e);
while ($dave=readdir( $dh))
{
print "$dave <br>";
$cnt=$cnt+1;
}
closedir ($dh);

print $cnt-2;

?>

count(glob("$di r/*.*"));
