You could probably http://php.net/exec some kind of shell script to do it.
Or, something not unlike this: # Untested code: function count_files($directory){ static $count; if (!isset($count)){ $count = 0; } $dir = opendir($directory); while ($path = readdir($dir)){ if ($path != '.' && $path != '..'){ if (is_dir($path)){ count_files($path); } else{ $count++; } } } closedir($dir); } If you want to count directories, copy the $count++ up a couple lines. -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out?
