I tried downloading a snapshot from shaps.php.net but when I do
phpinfo(), it says I have PHP 4.4.0-dev. (I downloaded
php4-win32-latest.zip on October 9th)

Anyways, I tried glob() but it doesn't do anything and it doesn't ouput
an error message either. I tried many things but it's still blank...

Thanks,
PsykX

It only exists in the 4.3.0 dev version, get a non-stable snapshot from
snaps.php.net

glob() doesn't seem to work on 4.2.3

This is what can be used for this:

No special functions for just counting files/dirs are not needed.

That's an idea but I already used readdir :)
I didn't think I could use it for directories, though...

It's just that since I don't use mysql, I use it often to count stuff
in my databases (e.g.: My news database outputs the number of news and
the number of news = the number of files in the directory) and it makes
scripts  more complicated. I always have to copy the same code
everywhere because I can't remember it.

Thanks,

Well, you should do that with readdir() with incrementing a variable.
