How to list files in the folder? -Sorted-

Mantis · April 28th, 2005, 10:22 AM

Hi,

I want to show the pictures on my website.

1st issue - multiple upload of pictures with diffrent names means I don't know a)how many pictures and b)There names.

This is my code so far:

<?php
session_start();
include ("Security.php");
?>
<html><head></head><body>

<table><tr>

<?php
$NBFile=number of GIF pictures in the current folder;

$NBPicswidth=4;
$NBPics=0;

for ($i=1; $i<=$NBFile; $i++) {

$PicName=Select picture number $i;

?><td><img border="1" src="<?php echo $Picname; ?>" align="middle"></td><?php
$NBPics=$NBPics+1;
if ( $NBPics==$NBPicswidth ) { $NBPics=0; ?><tr><?php }
}
?>

</table></body></html>

As you can see I am missing a way to check how many pictures are in the folder and how to select a picture (which I can probably do using a temporary matrix if needed)

Thks :)

Here's the code for listing files from a directory without file-extension. Either keep only images in a directory or recognize desired file-extension only, ( using regular expressions! )
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('/~path_to_directory/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            $page_name=substr($file, 0, strpos($file, "."));
            echo "$page_name<br>";
        }
    }
}
closedir($handle);
?>

I'm afraid of regular expressions.

Final code working :)
Thks for your help Anshul.

<?php
session_start();
include ("Security.php");

$NBFile=0;

if ($handle = opendir('../Pictures')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        if (substr($file, strlen($file)-3, 3)=="jpg" ) {
            $FileArray[] = $file;
            $NBFile=$NBFile+1;
        }

        }
    }
}
closedir($handle);

?>
<html><head></head><body>

<Center><table><tr>
<?php
$NBPicswidth=4;
$NBPics=0;
$NBFile=$NBFile-1;

for ($i=0; $i<=$NBFile; $i++) {
$Pic_Name1=$FileArray[$i];
?><td>
<img border="1" src="<?php echo $Pic_Name1; ?>" align="middle" width="100" height="75">
<p align="center" style="margin-top: -2; margin-bottom: 5"><?php echo $Pic_Name1; ?></td><?php
$NBPics=$NBPics+1;

if ( $NBPics==$NBPicswidth ) { $NBPics=0; ?><tr><?php }
}
?>

</table></body></html>
