I'm new at php but I want to create script to show me for example how many words are in txt files in a specify directory . But I want to choose from how many files I get the answer. In the directory are 20 files but I want my script to only show my words from 5 files (new files).
For now I have a script which shows words from all files in the directory.
I don't know how to set up limits. Could you help me?
$path_to_check = 'logs/';
$needle = 'error';
$tot = 0;
$numberOfFiles = 2;
foreach(glob($path_to_check . '*.txt') as $filename)
{
foreach(file($filename) as $fli=>$fl)
{
if(strpos($fl, $needle)!==false)
{
$tot++;
echo ' <br> ' . $filename . '<br> line ' . ($fli+1) . ':<br> ' . $fl;
}
}
}
