u can use the function
function GetDirArray($sPath)
{
//Load Directory Into Array
$handle=opendir($sPath);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) if(($file!=".")&($file!=".."))
$retVal[(isset($retVal))?count($retVal):0] = $file;
//Clean up and sort
closedir($handle);
sort($retVal);
return $retVal;
}
//and then
count($a=GetDirArray($sPath))
