a script that counts directories and displays that number

ok besides the delete file script i need a small script that can simply count the number of sub-directories inside a directory, and show that number on a page, for xample. i provide free ad-supported hosting with a crappy CGI script, and when a user signs up, it creates their directory. all the script has to do is count those directories and it provides the number of actual accounts on the web hosting sign up page. seems simple enough to me but i cant find anything about it.

Here you are :

Code:

<?php
$dir = "PathToYourDirectoryHere/";
$cnt = 0;

if ($handle = opendir($dir) )
 {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) 
    { 
        if ( is_dir ( $dir . $file ) )
        {
            $cnt ++;
        }
    }
    closedir($handle); 
}

echo $cnt . ' accounts';
?>

Note that $dir = "PathToYourDirectoryHere/"; should end with a slash (/)

Warning: opendir(http://justinlove.net/members/ ): failed to open dir: not implemented in /hsphere/local/home/meth0d42/justinlove.net/v2/administration/custom_pages.php(71) : eval()'d code on line 5

got it to work but it displays 12 accounts when there are really 10

First of all you should use this with a real directory not a url.

eg.

$dir ="/hsphere/local/home/meth0d42/justinlove.net/v2/administration/";

Yeah I forgot that.

You should

Code:

<?php
echo ($cnt - 2) . ' accounts';

(last line)

This is because it will count as directory the current and the parrent directory.

That is right... Just make sure that you don't count the directories that match . and ..
