Say I want to make a script with a folder filled with "n" photos. I want this script to post the photos in a table like the following.

PHP Code:


			
<br><p class = "pagetitle">2004 Rowathon</p>

<CENTER><TABLE>

<TR>

Rather than creating one of these pages each time I want to add another set of photos, can a short script be written to post all these photos into a page? I could create a database table easily, but it seems to be a waste of time. Can a script look into a folder to see how many jpg files are there, then post them to the page? Does this make sense?

I would like to know if this is possible.
Thanks again all for all your help!

Some old code of mine ( with help from Nevermind from memory ). I use it quite a bit but can not seem to find a nice tidy version at the moment !

Notes:
1/ Reads a directory and displays image thumbnails in a table with links to larger versions - remove the <a href="display.php?pic='.$dirArray[$i].'" target="_self"> if not required.

2/ I have a "bodge" here for ($i=2; $i<$indexCount; $i++) to miss out the . & ..

3/ I have a version somewhere that will only sellect .jpg from the directory but can not find it at the moment.

4/ The $column=1; of the code is to start a new row after a certain amount of images defined here - if ($column==3)

You will just have to have a play around with it.

If you look back at some of my posts the fix for sellecting .jpg only and ignoring . & .. should be in there somewhere.

PHP Code:


			
<table>

<?php



$myDirectory = opendir( 'thumbs' );



    while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory))

    {

    $dirArray[]=$entryName;

    }

    closedir($myDirectory);



  $indexCount = count($dirArray);



  echo "<center><h2>All images from the directory<br>Click on an image for a larger view</h2><table>";

  $column=1;

  for ($i=2; $i<$indexCount; $i++)

  {

    if ($column==1)

  {

    echo "<tr>";

  }

   echo '<td align="center"><a href="display.php?pic='.$dirArray[$i].'" target="_self">

         <img border="0" src="thumbs/'.$dirArray[$i].'" alt="'.$dirArray[$i].'"></a></td>';



  $column++;

  if ($column==3)

  {

  echo "</tr>";

  $column=1;

  }

  }

?>
