PHP - How Do I Show The Number Of Files In A Folder/directory?

I have been looking around and have not been able to find any useful information on this.  I am trying to transfer files from a folder in the directory to a table in a database.  Eventually they will be images but for right now I am just trying to get text files to transfer.  Any help/code/ideas would be a lot of help.  This is going to be triggered a button on a page by the way.

 if ($d = opendir("uploads")) {
    while ($file = readdir($d)) {
      if ($file != "." && $file != ".."    )
   //  if( is_file($file) )
       {
        $files[] = $file;
      }
    }
    closedir($d);
  }

if ($file != "." && $file != ".."    $file !=  ????????  )   just a bit stuck here

Okay, so I'm kind of a PHP noob.   But out of context, for this site that I'm designing, it's easiest if I make a directory in the temporary folder PHP uses. In my case, /tmp/ because I am on Linux.   I want to use rand() to generate a random name for the page. But I then realized something, rand() could produce duplicates. How do I prevent PHP from trying to make the same directory at the same time? I know there are functions that will check if a file exists but I'm assuming it'll fail if that directory is currently being created, right?   How do I assure thread safety?   I willing to change my idea and not use rand(). Is there a way to get a unique key for each anonymous user on my site?

I want to copy everything in templates/blue to the folder code/

However:

shell_exec("cp -r 'templates/blue' 'code'");

Creates a folder called blue inside code. I tried cp -r 'templates/blue/*' 'code', but that didn't do anything.

Any ideas?

How would I write PHP code to echo the number of pictures I have in a folder on my hosting account?   Thanks in advance.

Hii everyone.
I'm using the following code to save a file into a folder, and allow files to be deleted from the folder. the upload works fine. The delete does work, but sometimes you have to click on the delete link a few times before the file is deleted. i'm wondering if someone can see where the problem is in the code. Also, when the file is deleted, the history entry is not added. i'm a bit confused why it doesn't. i'd appreciate any assistance which you can provide. thank you.

hi all,

i have this music website and i have to upload every album under this folder "newsongs" ... in AlbumName folder i have normal quilty songs and HQ folder..under HQ folder i have High Quilty songs for each album.


i have this coding which moves Album folder  and normal quilty songs to other folder "songs" but i also want to move subfolder "HQ" and High Quilty songs with AlbumName  folder



for($i=0;$i<=$ct;$i++)
{
$alb=$alname[$i];
$cat=$catname[$i];
$albids=$albid[$i];
$fon=$folder_name[$i];

$tmp_name=$doc_root."newsongs/$fon";
$uploads_dir=$doc_root."songs/$cat/$fon";

if ($handle = opendir($tmp_name)) {
/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */ 
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
//echo "$file\n <br>";
if($file !=='..' and $file !=='.')
{
$song_path="songs/$cat/$fon/$file";
if(!is_dir("$tmp_name/$file") and (!is_dir("$uploads_dir/$file")))
{
if(copy("$tmp_name/$file", "$uploads_dir/$file"))
{
$cp=1;
$ext=substr($file,-4);
if($ext=='.mp3')
$insqry=mysql_query(" insert into tbl_songs set song_name='$file', album_id='$albids', artist_id='$artid', song_path='$song_path' ");

unlink($tmp_name.'/'.$file);
}

}
}
}
if($insqry)
  $msg="songs Added to the database";
else
$msg="songs Not Added to the database";
}
closedir($handle);


thnx in advnce

I almost have it but can't figure why the code below only shows one file per folder.

I think it is showing the last file.

I need $ul somehow looping to show all the files in $file.


<?php
$year = date('Y');

if ($handle = opendir("results/$year/Boys")) {

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

if ($handle2 = opendir("results/$year/Boys/$file")) {

while (false !== ($file2 = readdir($handle2))) {

if ($file2 != "." && $file2 != "..") {
$ul = "<li><a href=\"#\">$file2</a></li>";

$li =  "<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\">$file</a>
<ul>
$ul
</ul>
</li>";

} // close if file2
}echo $li;
}
}
}
}closedir($handle);closedir($handle2);
?>

Hi guys,
I am using a MySQL table to store if a user has access permisisons to a file.

The files are stored outside the webdirectory in drive F:\

So I have this code I have been playing around with in order to display the file I access and check permissions for:
<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];

$myfile = 'F:\files\/'.$file.'.jpg';

echo "<img src='$myfile' />";
?>


So a sample case would be say on index.php
<img src="http://somedomain.com/files?file=abcdefghijkl" />
and only if the current user had permissions to view that file would they see it.

Any help on how I can do this is greatly appreciated.

I do understand all my above code is probably totally wrong.

Cheers

I have a folder containing files. I want to replace some characters in the file names (e.g. "_" with "-"), then make a list of new files (renamed ones).

Thanks 

Hi, ive recently created a gallery website and im happy with the way everything currently works. However the main drawback is the site uploads using a html webfom which is great for remote users or the odd image.

However, as i want to mass upload my existing collection i will need the ability to read a selected folder and then to carry out all the same processes that existed from the existing html form upload.

Im also using gdlibrary and checking file types to ensure they are within my allowed list, but im wondering if there are any other common security alerts i should be aware of to keep things a little bit safer if/when i publish outside of my LAN.

So in a nut shell i need some assistance with changing my upload process to work for more than one file at a time, ideally by reading a folder, or at least reading X amount of files at a time - processing them then moving onto next batch of files in the list.  Then the next part i need help with is checking/improving basic security of the system
