The Problem

Only ignoring the 'recently used' category, the rest fully reads my directories of which are duplicated for testing purposes. As you can see, each sub_category has 44 files inside.

What I now want to do is count the total files (44 + 44) and display them on their parent category (88) however as I've already written this to my page, is this possible or is a bit of re-scripting needed?

Try this. replace all your code.

 <?php
echo '<ul class="DirView"><li><a href="#">Recently Used<span>28</span></a></li>';
$path = "./images/";
$dir = new DirectoryIterator($path);


    foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
        if ($fileinfo->isDir() && !$fileinfo->isDot()) {
            $subPath = $path.$fileinfo->getFilename();
            $subDir = new DirectoryIterator($subPath);
            $count = count(glob($subPath. "/*.*"));

            $SubCount = 0;
            $subCategory = '';
            foreach ($subDir as $subDirPath) {

                if ($subDirPath->isDir() && !$subDirPath->isDot()) {
                    $subDirPathDetails = $subPath.'/'.$subDirPath->getFilename();
                $subDirDetails = new DirectoryIterator($subDirPathDetails);
                $subDircount = count(glob($subDirPathDetails. "/*.*"));

                    $SubCount = $SubCount + $subDircount;
                    $subCategory.= '<li><a href="#">'.$subDirPath->getFilename().'<span>'.$subDircount.'</span></a></li>';

                }

            }
        echo $mainCategory = '<li><a href="#">'.$fileinfo->getFilename().'<span>'.$SubCount.'</span></a><ul class="sub-menu">';
        if(!empty($subCategory)){
             echo $subCategory; // sub category li*/
        }
            echo '</ul></li>';

        }

    }
    echo '</ul>';

?>

What is "before foor loop"? also is your provided code an example, snippet or to replace all my code so far? – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 04:57
I mean comment this line from your code // echo '
'.$fileinfo->getFilename().''.$count.'

So I comment that line out and add your code where? – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:01

replace your code (inner for loop only and echo statement above inner for loop) with above snippet. – kamlesh.bar Jan 21 '15 at 05:01

Sorry, pretty new at PHP, this is quite advanced for how little I've been learning :) – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:02

Thank you a billion, I was just trying to get my head around doing this, did part then got confused again and even more when the code changed in front of my eyes :P One of those "OMG is that the time?!!!" programming nights :P – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:08

Oh no! I've just realised it's not actually counting the files correctly :( – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:11

Category_1 > Sub_Category_1 has 22 files inside and Category_1 > Sub_Category_2 has 14 files inside... – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:13

Sorry, I never meant the adding of both, your adding of both prints perfectly but I thought my code was working perfectly adding how many files there were in the sub-categories... – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:13

for counting file inside folder do check (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12801370/count-how-many-files-in-directory-php). – kamlesh.bar Jan 21 '15 at 05:18

Okay and you should revert your code back as this breaks the script and no-longer adds up – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:19

your current code does not work - It breaks my page. – Tim Marshall Jan 21 '15 at 05:29
