I'm hitting my head to create this script.

I need a script, it can be in bash or php itself, it should check if a directory has a file inside it, other than another directory.

This directory I have to scan is in linux server that I have here in the company, so the script can be in bash, which I put to run daily on linux. Or in PHP, I make linux run the PHP file, no problems.

Does anyone know how to do it?

php linux bash

In php it can be done like this according to the answer found in: link

$files = scandir($dir); 
foreach($files as $file){
    if(is_file($dir.$file)){
      ....

It uses scandir to retrieve all content from grazing ($ dir) and then uses is_file to check item by item if any of them is a file
