I wrote a directory reading class in my blog that you could look at:
http://fijiwebdesign.com/content/view/83/77/

Heres how you would count the number of files in a directory using the class in the link above:

[PHP]/**
* Use the readDir class to count files in the directory
*/

$dir_path = '/my/directory/path'; // change to the directory path

$dir = new readDir(); // instantiate our class
$file_count = 0;

// set the directory to read
$dir->setPath( $dir_path );

// we do not want to read sub folders
$dir->readRecursive(false);

// set a function to call when a new dir is read
$dir->setEvent( 'readDir_file', 'increment_file_count' );

// read the dir
if ( !$dir->read() ) {
die($dir->error());
}

// our custom function called when a new file is read
function increment_file_count($path, $filename) {
global $file_count;

$file_count++; // increment file count

}

echo $file_count; // this is the number of files in the directory $dir_path [/PHP]

Should be quite self explanatory.

If you'd rather go with using the regular php functions, heres an example:

[PHP]/**
* Count files or sub-directories in a directory
* @author digital-ether at fijiwebdesign.com
*
* @param string directory path
* @param string element type to count (file|dir)
*/
function count_dir_elements($dir_path, $type = 'file') {
$file_count = 0;
$dir_count = 0;
if ($dh = opendir($dir_path)) {
$i = 0;
while ($el = readdir($dh)) {
$path = $dir.'/'.$el;

if (is_dir($path) && $el != '.' && $el != '..') {
$dir_count++;
} elseif (is_file($path)) {
$file_count++;
}
$i++;
}
closedir($dh);
} else {
return false;
}
return $type == 'file' ? $file_count : $dir_count;
}

// eg: count the files in this directory

echo count_dir_elements(dirname(__FILE__), $type = 'file');[/PHP]

Tanks for ur reply I check the code and let u know
