Question

I have a file called count.php.

this is where count.php is stored (the absolute path):

/home/content/61/7475161/html/wordpress/project/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/count.php

I need a way to count how many sub-folders from the folder project are involved in the path.

So in the case above, its four. I’ve come up with one way:

$pathtofile=dirname(__FILE__);

$path_array=explode("/",$pathtofile);

$f_stat=false;
$num_folders=0;

foreach ($path_array as $folder){

if($f_stat===false){

if($folder=="project"){$f_stat=true}

}//end of f_stat false

else{
$num_folders++;
}//end of else

}//end of foreach
//now $num_folders will equal 4 xD

I don’t think thats the best way to do it, so any suggestions would be awesome. thanks!

Answer 1

Just do strstr with /project and count the array elements after explode like this:

$path_array=explode('/',strstr($pathtofile, '/project'));
$depth = count($path_array)-1;
