start here: http://www.php.net/readdir check out as well: 'string functions' for finding 'amrs' and loops to make recursive search... t.

Re: [PHP] Counting files in directory and subdirectory!
I have used these functions but how would I count them! here is my
attempt that doesn't work!:
$count = 0;
$dir = /amrs;
$files1 = scandir($dir);
if ($files1 !== '.' $files1 !== '..') {
foreach ($files1 as $files2){
$dir2 = /amrs/$files2;
$files3 = scandir($dir2);
if ($files3 !== '.' $files3 !== '..') {
foreach ($files3 as $files4){
$dir3 = /amrs/$files2/$files4;
$files5 = scandir($dir3);
if ($files5 !== '.' $files5 !== '..') {
foreach ($files5 as $files6){
$count++;
}
}
}
}
}
}
echo $count;

Re: [PHP] Counting files in directory and subdirectory!
That is some nasty code...
Anything that has repitition like that needs a substantial rewrite, but
I'm guessing that you know that, hence the e-mail.
I just knocked up the following function, powered by the magic of
recursion. It should be close to what you were trying to do.
function count_files($path) {
$number_of_files = 0;
foreach(scandir($path) as $dir) {
if($dir{0} == '.') continue; # Ignore hidden files
if(is_dir($path.'/'.$dir))
$number_of_files += count_files($path.'/'.$dir);
else
$number_of_files++;
}
return $number_of_files;
}
echo count_files(amrs);
