How can I find the number of iles and directories and folder? I only want to count certain file type extensions such as .html, .htm, .php etc. Anyone can help me with the code to do this?

Anyone?

    $directory = "/"


    // create an array to hold directory list

    $results = array();


    // create a handler for the directory

    $handler = opendir($directory);


    // Create a total file counter

    $totalFiles = 0;


    // Create counter for file types

    $myFiles = 0;


    // keep going until all files in directory have been read

    while ($file = readdir($handler)) {


        // if $file isn't this directory or its parent, 

        // add it to the results array

        if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {

   

         // Counter for total files

         $totalFiles++;


        // Get our extension

        $myExt = substr($file,strlen($file)-3);

  

       // Test our string

       if ($myExt == ".doc" || $myExt == ".txt") { // Replace .doc and .txt here

              $myFiles++;

        }

      }

   }


    // close the handler

    closedir($handler);

I didn't include directories but you can work that out from the code above.
Most of this code came from: http://www.laughing-...on/php/dirlist/

Great! Thank you. I'll work out the rest from that. I've actually learned a lot about PHP since I posted this.

Nice scripts, i'm going to save that one for later use.
Thanks.
