You should have      lt div id  header  gt   lt  php         integer starts at 0 before counting      i   0        dir    uploads        if   handle   opendir  dir             while    file   readdir  handle       false               if   in array  file  array              amp  amp   is dir  dir  file                     i                           prints out how many were in the directory     echo  There were  i files     gt   lt  div gt

User · Answer

You can get the filecount like so    directory     path to dir     filecount   0   files   glob  directory         if   files     filecount   count  files     echo  There were  filecount files     where the     is you can change that to a specific filetype if you want like    jpg  or you could do multiple filetypes like this   glob  directory       jpg png gif   GLOB BRACE    the GLOB BRACE flag expands  a b c  to match  a    b   or  c

Here s a PHP Linux function that s considerably fast  A bit dirty  but it gets the job done    dir - path to directory   type - f  d or false  by default   f - returns only files count  d - returns only folders count  false - returns total files and folders count  function folderfiles  dir   type false         f   escapeshellarg  dir       if  type     f              io   popen     usr bin find      f     -type f   wc -l    r           elseif  type     d              io   popen     usr bin find      f     -type d   wc -l    r           else            io   popen     usr bin find      f       wc -l    r                 size   fgets    io  4096       pclose    io        return  size      You can tweak to fit your needs   Please note that this will not work on Windows

User · Answer

Maybe usefull to someone  On a Windows system  you can let Windows do the job by calling the dir-command  I use an absolute path  like E  mydir mysubdir    lt  php   mydir  E  mydir mysubdir    dir str replace           mydir    total   exec  dir    dir    b a-d   find  v  c

Since I needed this too  I was curious as to which alternative was the fastest   I found that -- if all you want is a file count -- Baba s solution is a lot faster than the others  I was quite surprised   Try it out for yourself    lt  php define  MYDIR            foreach  array 1  2  3  as  i         t   microtime true        count   run  i       echo   i   count     microtime true  -  t    s  n      function run   n         func    countFiles n        x   0      for   f   0   f  lt  5000   f             x    func        return  x     function countFiles1           dir   opendir MYDIR        c   0      while    file   readdir  dir       false          if   in array  file  array                           c        closedir  dir       return  c     function countFiles2          chdir MYDIR       return count glob           function countFiles3       Fastest method        f   new FilesystemIterator MYDIR  FilesystemIterator  SKIP DOTS       return iterator count  f       gt    Test run   obviously  glob   doesn t count dot-files   1  99  0 4815571308136 s  2  98  0 96104407310486 s  3  99  0 26513481140137 s
