To count the number of files within a folder, I refer you to this answer.

You would then use the mkdir() function to create a new directory.

So you would have something like:

$directory = 'images';
$files = glob($directory . '*.jpg');

if ( $files !== false )
{
    $filecount = count( $files );
    if ($filecount >= 1000)
    {
        mkdir('images_2');
    }
}

From this example Count how many files in directory php

Add an if statement that will create a folder when files reach a certain number

<?php 
$dir = opendir('uploads/'); # This is the directory it will count from
$i = 0; # Integer starts at 0 before counting

# While false is not equal to the filedirectory
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) { 
    if (!in_array($file, array('.', '..') and !is_dir($file)) $i++;
    if($i == 1000) mkdir('another_folder');
}

echo "There were $i files"; # Prints out how many were in the directory

?>

you can try something like this

$dir = "my_img_folder/";

if(is_dir($dir)) {
    $images = glob("$dir{*.gif,*.jpg,*.JPG,*.png}", GLOB_BRACE); //you can add .gif or other extension as well

    if(count($images) == 1000){
        mkdir("/path/to/my/dir", 0777); //make the permission as per your requirement
    }
}

define("IMAGE_ROOT","/images");

function getLastFolderID(){

    $directory = array_diff( scandir( IMAGE_ROOT ), array(".", "..") );

    //if there is empty root, return zero. Else, return last folder name;
    $id = empty($directory) ? 0 : intval( end($directory) );

    return $id;
}

$last_dir = getLastFolderID();

$target_path = IMAGE_ROOT . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $last_dir;

$file_count = count( array_diff( scandir( $target_path ), array(".", "..") ) ); // exclude "." and ".."

//large than 1000 or there is no folder
if( $file_count > 1000 || $last_dir == 0){

    $new_name = getLastFolderID() + 1;
    $new_dir = IMAGE_ROOT . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $new_name;

    if( !is_dir($new_dir) )
        mkdir( $new_dir );

}

So i solved my problem like this.

i'm using laravel for my php development.

first thing i'm getting last pictures folder and then checking if there is more then 1000 images.

if so i'm creating new folder with current date time.

code looks like this.

// get last image  
$last_image = DB::table('funs')->select('file')
                               ->where('file', 'LIKE', 'image%')
                               ->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->first();

// get last image directory                            
$last_image_path = explode('/', $last_image->file);

// last directory
$last_directory = $last_image_path[1];

$fi = new FilesystemIterator(public_path('image/'.$last_directory),  FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);

if(iterator_count($fi) > 1000){
   mkdir(public_path('image/fun-'.date('Y-m-d')), 0777, true);
   $last_directory = 'fun-'.date('Y-m-d');
}
