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_files($path) {
$number_of_files = 0;
foreach(scandir($path) as $dir) {
if($dir{0} == '.') continue; # Ignore hidden files
if(is_dir($path.'/'.$dir))
$number_of_files += count_files($path.'/'.$dir);
else
$number_of_files++;
}
return $number_of_files;
}
echo count_files("amrs");
