Check if specific folder contains files, folders, both or none ?

Good day to you all,
is there a way to check if a specific folder contains: files, folder, both or none ?

I read my folder with Glob, like my code here :

PHP Code:


			

<?PHP
function globDir($dir)
{
   $files = glob("$dir/*", GLOB_ONLYDIR);
   
     if(!empty($files))
   {
      echo "<ul>\n";

      foreach($files as $file)
      {
         echo "<li><b>". basename($file)."</b>\n";
         globDir($file);
         echo "</li>\n";
      }
      echo "</ul>\n";
   }
}
globDir('Photos');
?>

The only thing I have really found is how to find if a specific file exists.

I'm trying to find out if a specific folder contains : files, folders, both, none.
It would return the appropriate word accordingly.

Thanks and take care!

Have a look at this script, it can list the contents of a folder and discern between files and folders. You should be able to modify that to fit your needs.
