I banged my head against this all day yesterday without success.
I have a file upload page for a client that also displays the files in their
directory folder using PHP.
Displaying the files is no problem. I loop through the directory like this:

  if ($handle = opendir('./ssgi/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
      if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        echo "<a href=\"ssgi/$file\">$file</a><br />\n";
      }
    }                                           
    closedir($handle);
  }

However, when the directory is empty, I want to 
display the text string, "There are no files in this folder", so the 
client recognizes the folder is empty and not just failing to show their
files.
For the life of me, I can't find a way to determine if the folder is empty.
If there were a "directory size" function that would help, but all I can
find 
is filesize. I've tried checking if $file == false or zero but there is
always a 
dot (.) left in the folder which is used to move to the next directory
level. 
Also, while using the loop method, eventually, the $file will always equal
false, 
that's what brings the script to an end.
Can anybody lead me in the right direction here? What am I missing. It seems

that this should be very simple, but so far the solution is eluding me.
