Official manual can be found here.

get full folders tree and count txt files inside – PHP

main folder is home – with subfolders and txt files – on various levels
I need the list of entire folders tree – and count txt files inside each of them
This code gives the folders but count is always – 0
I suppose paths to folders and not only folder names – are required, but can’t see – how to get them.

   function rscan ($dir) {
      $all = array_diff(scandir($dir), [".", ".."]);
      foreach ($all as $ff) {
        if(is_dir($dir . $ff)){
          echo $ff . "n";  // it works
          $arr = glob($ff . "/*.txt");
          echo count($arr) . "n";  // always 0
          rscan("$dir$ff/");
        }
      }
    }
     
    rscan("home/");

    Line 6

    $arr = glob($ff . "/*.txt");

    Change to the code below:

    $arr = glob($dir.$ff . "/*.txt");

    An alternate implementation:

    <?php
function glob_recursive($pattern, $flags = 0): Int {
    $files = glob($pattern, $flags);
    $count = count($files);
        
    foreach (glob(dirname($pattern).'/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR|GLOB_NOSORT) as $dir) {
        $count += glob_recursive($dir.'/'.basename($pattern), $flags);
    }
        
    return $count;
}
var_dump(glob_recursive('home/*.txt'));

    The output is something like:

    int(10)
