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_fil
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 !== '..')
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 !== '.' && $f

this code snippet won't work as a standalone. you are referencing an object
Try this bit of code and see if it works. (I don't know if there's a less
taxing (on the server) way to get a count of files in a directory or not.)
$myDirectory = dir("yourdirectory");
while($entry=$myDirectory->read())
{
$filecount++;
}
$myDirectory->close();
$number = rand(1, $filecount
9 matches
