PHP count total files in directory AND subdirectory function

Question

I need to get a total count of JPG files within a specified directory, including ALL it\'s subdirectories. No sub-sub directories.

Structure looks like this :

For the fun of it I've whipped this together:

class FileFinder
{
    private $onFound;

    private function __construct($path, $onFound, $maxDepth)
    {
        // onFound gets called at every file found
        $this->onFound = $onFound;
        // start iterating immediately
        $this->iterate($path, $maxDepth);
    }

    private function iterate($path, $maxDepth)
    {
        $d = opendir($path);
        while ($e = readdir($d)) {
            // skip the special folders
            if ($e == '.' || $e == '..') { continue; }
            $absPath = "$path/$e";
            if (is_dir($absPath)) {
                // check $maxDepth first before entering next recursion
                if ($maxDepth != 0) {
                    // reduce maximum depth for next iteration
                    $this->iterate($absPath, $maxDepth - 1);
                }
            } else {
                // regular file found, call the found handler
                call_user_func_array($this->onFound, array($absPath));
            }
        }
        closedir($d);
    }

    // helper function to instantiate one finder object
    // return value is not very important though, because all methods are private
    public static function find($path, $onFound, $maxDepth = 0)
    {
        return new self($path, $onFound, $maxDepth);
    }
}

// start finding files (maximum depth is one folder down) 
$count = $bytes = 0;
FileFinder::find('.', function($file) use (&$count, &$bytes) {
    // the closure updates count and bytes so far
    ++$count;
    $bytes += filesize($file);
}, 1);

echo "Nr files: $count; bytes used: $bytes\n";

You pass the base path, found handler and maximum directory depth (-1 to disable). The found handler is a function you define outside, it gets passed the path name relative from the path given in the find() function.

Hope it makes sense and helps you :)
