hasFiles()

Checks if a directory contains at least one file, or only files if strict mode is enabled.

Parameters

example

try
{
    $dir = '/path/to/directory';

    // Check if directory contains at least one file

    }
    else
    {
        echo "No files found.\n";
    }

    // Check if directory contains only files (strict mode)
    if (hasFiles($dir, true))
    {
        echo "Directory contains only files.\n";
    }
    else
    {
