glob() doesn't seem to work on 4.2.3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-07 12:12:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is what can be used for this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php No special functions for just counting files/dirs are not needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-05 18:52:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's an idea but I already used readdir :) I didn't think I could use it for directories, though... It's just that since I don't use mysql, I use it often to count stuff in my databases (e.g.: My news database outputs the number of news and the number of news = the number of files in the directory) and it makes scripts more complicated. I always have to copy the same code everywhere because I can't remember it. Thanks, PsykX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-05 17:49:26] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, you should do that with readdir() with incrementing a variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-05 15:45:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think it would be handy to have these 2 functions. The difference is that one would count files and the other counts directories, like you probably guessed it. For example, if you d'like to count files ending with php3 and directories, you would do this : --- //Opens a directory and counts files and folders in it $dir = opendir(string path); $files = count_files($dir, "php3"); $directories = count_directories($dir); closedir($dir); //Outputs the number of files and directories echo $files; echo "<br>"; echo $directories; --- If you d'like to count every files you would put nothing in the extension parameter I know there's a way to count files and directories but it would be a "shortcut" function. Thanks, PsykX (Sorry for my english...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19772&edit=1
