file counter

[Jeff Blume]

is there a way i can count the number of files in a server side
directory using php?
i'm not sure if this sort of thing is possible at all (i'm new to php)
but would appreciate any tips or scripts anyone could point me to.
thanks a bunch,
jb

Re: file counter

<?php

$dir_path = "path/to/your/directory";
$mydir = dir($dir_path);

$file_count = 0;
while($file_nam e = $mydir->read())
{
if($file_name!= "." && $file_name!=".. ")
$file_count++;
}

echo "The are $file_count files in the directory $dir_path";

?>
