In post #10, what suggestion was given to the user to display the total count of files from multiple directories using PHP?

The user was suggested to use PHP to recursively scan multiple directories and count the total number of files within them. This can be achieved by writing a PHP script that utilizes functions like scandir() and is_dir() to iterate through directories and count the files. 

function countFilesInDirectories($directories) {
    $totalFiles = 0;

    foreach ($directories as $directory) {
        if (is_dir($directory)) {
            $files = scandir($directory);
            $totalFiles += count($files) - 2; // Subtract 2 for . and ..
        }
    }

    return $totalFiles;
}

$directories = ['directory1', 'directory2', 'directory3'];
$totalFiles = countFilesInDirectories($directories);
echo "Total number of files in directories: " . $totalFiles;
