Hi Dave,

You could use readdir to accomplish this.
Example:

<?php
function countFiles($strDirName)
{
if ($hndDir = opendir($strDirName))
{
$intCount = 0;
while (false !== ($strFilename = readdir($hndDir)))
{
if ($strFilename != "." && $strFilename != "..")
{
$intCount++;
}
}
closedir($hndDir);
}
else
{
$intCount = -1;
}

return $intCount;
}

echo countFiles("C:\\Temp");
?>

HTH.
Peter.
