Count files in a folder

Hello guys, i need to know how i can count all files in a folder. Of course, i need to count them along with their 'file types' -

like:- .jpg - 12, .doc - 5, .txt - 2 etc.

Please let me know if any body can help me.

Thanks in advance

 

function file_count_types($path = '.')
{
	if (!$files = glob(rtrim($path, '/\\') . '/*.*'))
	{
		return false;
	}

	$extensions = array();
	foreach ($files AS $file)
	{
		$extension = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file)));
		isset($extensions[$extension])
			? $extensions[$extension]++
			: $extensions[$extension] = 1;
	}
	
	return $extensions;
}

PHP:

Usage example:

$path = 'path/to/files';
$files = file_count_types($path);

print_r($files);

PHP:

Displays something similar to:

Array
(
    [exe] => 7
    [bat] => 11
    [dll] => 1
    [txt] => 3
)
