hey guys…

wondering if someone could help me.

does anyone know if it’s possible to be able to count the number of files in a folder and display he number +1 somewhere on a page

like for instance theres 4 pictures in a folder and someone is adding a new picture…so a message would be like :

you’re image is the **5th** to be added!

…anyone know if that can be done

thanking you :?)
