accessing files named in an array - php

Question

I am a new PHP developer and I just started working with files in PHP.
I have the following code to count number of txt files in the directory and store their names in an array and then using a loop display the total lines in each of the files!
here is the code, help me where I have gone wrong!
$dir = opendir('directory/');
$num_files = 0;
$dir_files[] = array();
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))){
if (!in_array($file, array('.', '..','Thumbs.db')) and !is_dir($file)){
$num_files++;
echo $file;
array_push($dir_files,$file);
echo "<br />";
}
}
echo "--------------------------------------<br />";
echo "Number of files in this directory: ".$num_files."<br />";
echo "--------------------------------------<br />";
foreach($dir_files as $dir_file=>$value){
$file='directory/'.$value;
$linecount = 0;
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
while(!feof($handle)){
$line = fgets($handle);
$linecount++;
}
fclose($handle);
echo "File $file has $linecount lines!";
}
I get the following errors:
Notice: Array to string conversion in D:\xampp\htdocs\PHP_practice\read_lines_of_files.php on line 19
Warning: fopen(directory/Array): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\xampp\htdocs\PHP_practice\read_lines_of_files.php on line 21
Warning: feof() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in D:\xampp\htdocs\PHP_practice\read_lines_of_files.php on line 22

Answer 1

Your code is toooooooo lengthy. Try this : This will do whole functionality for you, let me know if any issues.
foreach(glob('directory/*.txt',GLOB_BRACE) as $value){
$file =$value;
$linecount = 0;
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
while(!feof($handle)){
$line = fgets($handle);
$linecount++;
}
fclose($handle);
echo "File $file has $linecount lines!";
}

Answer 2

change:
$dir_files[] = array();
to
$dir_files = array();
And:
fopen() returns a file pointer resource on success, or FALSE on error.As it is throwing an error opening the file, feof() is receiving FALSE instead of a file pointer resource: so you get the error "expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in"...
