How can one count the number of files in a folder using PHP?

To count the number of files in a folder using PHP, you can use the `scandir()` function to get an array of all files in the folder, and then count the number of elements in the array. This allows you to easily determine the total number of files in the folder. 

$folder = 'path/to/folder'; // Specify the path to the folder
$files = scandir($folder); // Get an array of all files in the folder
$numFiles = count($files) - 2; // Subtract 2 to exclude the "." and ".." entries

echo "Number of files in the folder: " . $numFiles;
