Help me please with script by absorbation on 04-26-2005 at 06:04 PM

Dempsey gave me this script to show how many soundpacks are in my soundpacks folder (on the site):


function count_files( $dir )
{
     $retval = 0;
     if( $dir && is_dir( $dir ) )
     {
          if( ($d = opendir( $dir )) !== false )
          {
               while( ($f = readdir( $d )) !== false )
               {
                    if( is_file( $dir . "/" . $f ) ) ++$retval;
               }
               closedir( $d );
          }
     }
     return $retval;
}

print count_files( "/soundpacks" );

open notepad and paste this code into a new file

code:
<?
function count_files( $dir )
{
     $retval = 0;
     if( $dir && is_dir( $dir ) )
     {
          if( ($d = opendir( $dir )) !== false )
          {
               while( ($f = readdir( $d )) !== false )
               {
                    if( is_file( $dir . "/" . $f ) ) ++$retval;
               }
               closedir( $d );
          }
     }
     return $retval;
}

print count_files( "/soundpacks" );
?>

save it as soundpacks.php or whatever and upload

You need your pages to be .php ones.. and in the place you want it to appear you put..

code:
<?php
function count_files( $dir )
{
     $retval = 0;
     if( $dir && is_dir( $dir ) )
     {
          if( ($d = opendir( $dir )) !== false )
          {
               while( ($f = readdir( $d )) !== false )
               {
                    if( is_file( $dir . "/" . $f ) ) ++$retval;
               }
               closedir( $d );
          }
     }
     return $retval;
}

echo "We have ".count_files( "/soundpacks" )." sound packs..";
?>
or whatever..
