$dir = '../audio/'.$yr.'/';
$files = scandir($dir);
$number=count(files);
echo $number;

Why does this always show the resutlt as 1?


$dir = '../audio/'.$yr.'/';
$files = scandir($dir);
echo count(files);

Shows the true count of the array.

Because you left out a '$'

And you still have turned error reporting off. How often have you been told to turn
it on?

php > echo count(files), "\n";
PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant files - assumed 'files' in php shell code on
line 1

Did you even think to check for any warning messages? Did you have
warnings turned on? PHP will usually generate a warning if warnings are
on and you appear to have left a $ off of a variable name.
