Counting File types in dir and sub dir

[johnberman]

Hi

My first post so be gentle

I want to count the number html and htm files in a dir and its sub dirs, i have found script that will do a simple count of all files but nothing else. Also recursing th ecound into the sub dirs does not seem easy ?

Any help appreciated.

Hi. Welcome!

Check out the scandir function.
That, coupled with the is_dir function should do the trick.

You could simply create a function that scans a single directory, counting the files and return the count. If the function finds a directory, it would simply call itself again on that directory and add the return value of that call to the current count.
