Many thanks for your feedback but I'm getting strange results that way:

../public_html: 173441
Total: 347313../www: 173441
Total: 347313../tmp: 201
Total: 347313../mail: 150
Total: 347313../ssl: 22
Total: 347313../logs: 17
Total: 347313../etc: 16
Total: 347313../ppdesign.cf: 9
Total: 347313../access-logs: 8
Total: 347313../public_ftp: 4
Total: 347313../wordpress-backups: 2
Total: 347313../lscache: 2
Total: 347313

This total is, in fact, the total of all of the above, including 2x 173441

Are public_html and www perhaps the same folder? linked with a symlink? I know cPanel does that, and it would explain the identical file count.

I suppose it would be possible to folder out symlinks somehow, perhaps by tweaking the FilesystemIterator::FOLLOW_SYMLINKS flag on the RecursiveDirectoryIterator.

Yep, that's right, it's a symlink in cPanel and I resolved my issue by simply dividing the total by 2 as I just wanted to receive the total only by email with a cron. Many thanks for your help!
