Question

I have a php code that will display the amount of files that i have in a folder.

Code: This will echo this on my page, “There are a total of 119 Articles“

$directory = "../health/";
if (glob($directory . "*.php") != false) /* change php to the file you require either html php jpg png. */ {
    $filecount = count(glob($directory . "*.php")); /* change php to the file you require either html php jpg png. */
    echo "<p>There are a total of";
    echo " $filecount ";
    echo "Articles</p>";
} else {
    echo 0;
}

Question:

I am wanting to count the files from 27 or more folders and echo the total amount of files.

Is there away i can add a list of folders to open such as:

$directory = "../health/","../food/","../sport/";

then it will count all the files and display the total “There are a total of 394 Articles”

Thanks

Yes you can:

glob('../{health,food,sport}/*.php', GLOB_BRACE);
