Answer 1

Glob returns an array, on error it returns false.

Try this:

$directory = '/var/www/ajaxform/';
$files = glob($directory . '*.jpg');

if ( $files !== false )
{
    $filecount = count( $files );
    echo $filecount;
}
else
{
    echo 0;
}

Answer 2

Try this:

<?php 
$directory = '/var/www/ajaxform/';
if (glob($directory . '*.jpg') != false)
{
 $filecount = count(glob($directory . '*.jpg'));
 echo $filecount;
}
else
{
 echo 0;
}
?>

Answer 3

There is a mistake in your glob pattern (in the if). You are missing a *:

glob($directory . '*.jpg')

should work

Answer 4

Minimalization approach:

function getImagesNo($path)
{
  return ($files=glob($path.'*.jpg')) ? count($files) : 0;
}

Answer 5

glob is case sensitive, according to the PHP docs. Are your extensions lowercase? Does the executing account have access to /var/www/ajaxform/?

Answer 6

Just try this--

if (glob($directory . "*.jpg") != false)
$filecount = count(glob($directory . "*.jpg"));
else
$filecount = 0;
