Hey,
i edited it to count ALL files in the folder and not pictures
for those who want this code on a function
here it is
you have to define this:

$directory = ”;
if (glob($directory . “*.*”) != false)
{
$filecount = count(glob($directory . “*.*”));
}
else
{
$filecount = ’0×1′;
}

and add this to your index or what ever!

Nice and simple, but anyone know how can we count the sub-directories as well.

Just a heads up. Remember to use relative path to the folder and not absolute path when using glob.
Ex

Working:
$directory = “whatever/wp-content/uploads/random/”;

NOT Working
$directory = “http://mydomain.com/whatever/wp-content/uploads/random/”;
