I’ve actually experienced that problem before.

Many thanks for sharing your solution

Great stuff!

I’m not entirely sure why you needed to use array_push there. Regardless, I have already written a post on how you get the files names here: http://www.brightcherry.co.uk/scribbles/2008/11/02/php-list-all-files-in-a-directory/

I needed the a script to return the filenames too, regardless of their extension. This is my take on it… I hope someone finds it helpful:

# code to return an array of file paths from a directory
$filepath = $pathtodirectory . “*”;
$filenames = array();
foreach (glob($filepath) as $filename) {
array_push($filenames , $filename);
}
print_r($filenames);

I learnt that the path can be relative but it shouldn’t have a leading slash. Also the “*” on the end of the filepath catches all files.


//Count .jpg

if (glob(“” . $directory . “*.jpg”) != false)
$filecount = count(glob(“” . $directory . “*.jpg”));
else
$filecount = 0;


Maybe this helps some people struggeling with the same issue.
