How to fix :[too many arguments error in code

I am getting a :[ too many arguments error on line 28 if I do not specify a directory or file when running my code. Any suggestions as I am stuck here.

if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
echo "Enter zero or one file"
echo "You must use a valid directory"
echo "Current directory is:" pwd
exit 0
fi
#Flag Variable
flag=1
#Code for no arguments
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
for filename in *
do
if [ -f $filename ]; then
linetest1='wc -l < $filename'
# Execution
if [ $flag -eq 1 ]; then
startline=$linetest1
startfile=$filename
flag=2
fi

#End Code Execution
if [ $startline -lt $linetest1 ]; then
startline=$linetest1
startfile=$filename
fi
fi
done
echo "File $startfile has the maximum number lines ($startline)."
exit 0
fi

#If only one Variable
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
cd $1
for filename in *
do
if [ -f $filename ]; then
linetest1='wc -l < $filename'
if [ $flag -eq 1 ]; then
startline=$linetest1
startfile=$filename
flag=2
fi
if [ $startline -lt $linetest1 ]; then
startline=$linetest1
startfile=$filename
fi
fi
done
echo "File $startfile has the maximum number lines ($startline)."
exit 0
fi

Thanks.

LEARN ABOUT PHP

id3_get_version

ID3_GET_VERSION(3)							 1							ID3_GET_VERSION(3)

id3_get_version - Get version of an ID3 tag

SYNOPSIS

       int id3_get_version (string  $filename)

DESCRIPTION

       id3_get_version(3) retrieves the version(s) of the ID3 tag(s) in the MP3 file.

	If a file contains an ID3 v1.1 tag, it always contains a 1.0 tag, as version 1.1 is just an extension of 1.0.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- The path to the MP3 file  Instead of a filename you may also pass a valid stream resource

RETURN VALUES

	Returns  the  version  number  of  the ID3 tag of the file. As a tag can contain ID3 v1.x and v2.x tags, the return value of this function
       should be bitwise compared with the predefined constants ID3_V1_0, ID3_V1_1 and ID3_V2.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      id3_get_version(3) example

	      <?php
	      $version = id3_get_version( "path/to/example.mp3" );
	      if ($version & ID3_V1_0) {
		  echo "Contains a 1.x tag
";
	      }
	      if ($version & ID3_V1_1) {
		  echo "Contains a 1.1 tag
";
	      }
	      if ($version & ID3_V2) {
		  echo "Contains a 2.x tag
";
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Contains a 1.x tag
	      Contains a 1.1 tag
