Message:

I am trying to get a count of files inside a folder in my CodeIgniter project, I did the following:

<?php

$fi = new FilesystemIterator(base_url().'uploads', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);

printf("There were %d Files", iterator_count($fi));

?>

but this gives me the following error:

FilesystemIterator::__construct(http://localhost/drive/uploads):
failed to open dir: not implemented

can anyone please tell me what is wrong in here, thanks in advance

My Answer:
php
$folder_path = 'path/to/folder';
$file_count = count(glob($folder_path . '/*'));

echo "Number of files in folder: " . $file_count;


Make sure to replace `'path/to/folder'` with the actual path to the folder you want to count the files in.
