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"); David Nicholas Couloute wrote: > here is what I tried but it doesn't work! any advice suggestions or > something? > > $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"; > ~Nick Couloute > co-owner/Web Designer > Sidekick2Music.Com > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Counting files in directory and subdirectory!
here is what I tried but it doesn't work! any advice suggestions or something? $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"; ~Nick Couloute co-owner/Web Designer Sidekick2Music.Com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
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"; ~Nick Couloute co-owner/Web Designer Sidekick2Music.Com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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