Find out number of files in a folder

Hello everyone:

I’m using PHP script on a UNIX/LINUX platform (via shared web hosting). Can someone suggest how to determine number of files in a certain folder. (I have full access to that folder.)

Thank you.

@NogDogJun 20.2006 — Do you want the total number just of files, or should sub-directory names be counted, too?

[code=php]
$files = glob("*");
$numberoffiles = count($files);
echo("There are $numberoffiles files in your directory");
[/code]

it's a start

@NogDogJun 20.2006 — Or, if you like your code dense:
[code=php]
$directory = "/foo/bar";
printf("<p>The number of files in %s is %d.</p>n", $directory, count(glob("$directory/*")));
[/code]
?
