Bug #17086: A command to retrieve the number of files in a dir /w regex

From: jeroen@vogelpoel.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: A command to retrieve the number of files in a dir /w regex IMHO, it would be handy to have a command that returns the number of files in a directory. What would be a good idea to add to this is regex support, so you can only list files with specific extensions or such. Another handy option would be the ability to exclude directories from the count, including . and .. by using a boolean value. In order to further illustrate it, take a look at how I think the command should look like int num_files ( string directory, string pattern , bool hide_dirs ) Returns the number of files in [directory] matching [pattern] -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17086&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17086&r=globals
