File Count in PHP

Russinating · 13 Oct 2008 at 20:45

Hi guys. I'm looking for a way of counting the number of files in a certain folder OR with a certain wildcard name (ie. ImageGroup1-0xx.jpg) with PHP.

Thanks for any help in advance

glob() reads all the files in a specified folder into an array. as you can see, it supports wildcards.

PHP:

$count = count(glob('images/*.jpg'));

then use count() to count how many elements are in the array.

PHP:

$countimages = count(glob('stills/' . $photoname . '*.jpg'));
