how to show how many files are in a directory

Does anyone have the code to display how many files are in a folder on your website?

Example if i stored my images in a folder called images:

We currently host: 80 photos

Any idea how to do this?

Thanks

<?php
//directory path
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].dirname($PHP_SELF); 

//open the directory
$open_dir = opendir($dir);

//reset the counter
$count = 0;

//loop through the directory
while (false !== ($file = readdir($open_dir))) {

//count files but remove .. and .
if (is_file($file) && $file !== '.' && $file !== '..') {
$count++;

}
}

echo $count;
?>

PHP:

This should do it for you as well.

 

thanks guys
