Return total number of files within a folder using PHP

Question

Is there a better/simpler way to find the number of images in a directory and output them to a variable?

function dirCount($dir) {
  $x = 0;
  while (($file          


        

Answer 1

I use the following to get the count for all types of files in one directory in Laravel

   $dir = public_path('img/');
    $files = glob($dir . '*.*');

    if ( $files !== false )
    {
        $total_count = count( $files );
        return $totalCount;
    }
    else
    {
        return 0;
    }
