I have searched high and low for a script that will return previews of all image files within a folder and then provide means to delete unwanted images. I have found several here that perform the preview function or allow delete from a list but none that perform both.

Seems like there should be something already written for this. Does anybody know of any scripts like this?

[ruteckycs]

No but I could write you a basic one in PHP if you want. (for free of course) This is easy.

[sac0o01]

That would be great! Thanks! It wouldn't have to be fancy or even have any security. I could just FTP it into the folder, clean up the files and then remove it again.

I have tried myself to combine two different scripts but I am afraid my Php skills have a long way to go yet.

[ruteckycs]

Shoot me an email and Ill send it to you so you can FTP, then well post the code here for everyone else as well.

2 scripts for this:

save as view.php

PHP Code:

<?php
$path='images/';// change the path here related to this page
$handle=opendir($path);

while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
if(strlen($file>3)){echo "

<img src=$path$file> <br>
<form action=\"delete.php\" method=\"post\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Name\" value=\"$pathfile\">
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete\">
</form>

";}


}
closedir($handle);
?>

save as delete.php

PHP Code:

<?php
$path='images/';// change the path here where images are
$Name=$_POST['Name'];

$PathFIle=$path.$Name;

unlink('$PathFile');

header('Location: view.php');
?>

There isnt any styling for the output, there is no security .. you can add these things yourself.Make sure you edit the path section the the directory where your images are. This code is untested but should be fine.

Ok... I dropped the two files into the same folder as the images and set the path to: './'

The view function works great but when I hist the button to delete I get this error:

Warning: unlink($PathFile) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home2/freefor3/public_html/bannerv2/images_saved/delete.php on line 7

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/freefor3/public_html/bannerv2/images_saved/delete.php:1) in /home2/freefor3/public_html/bannerv2/images_saved/delete.php on line 9

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!

In view.php, replace this line:

PHP Code:

if(strlen($file>3)){echo " 


... with:

PHP Code:

if (is_file($file)) { echo " 


And

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden\" name=\"Name\" value=\"$pathfile\"> 


... with

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden\" name=\"Name\" value=\"$file\"> 


And in delete.php, replace this:

PHP Code:

unlink('$PathFile'); 


... with:

PHP Code:

$PathFile = basename($PathFile);

if (is_file($PathFile))
    unlink($PathFile);

Still getting this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/freefor3/public_html/bannerv2/images_saved/delete.php:1) in /home2/freefor3/public_html/bannerv2/images_saved/delete.php on line 12

Here is what I have so far:

view.php

PHP Code:

<?php
$path='./'; // change the path here related to this page
$handle=opendir($path);

while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
if (is_file($file)) { echo "

<img src=$path$file> <br>
<form action=\"delete.php\" method=\"post\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Name\" value=\"$file\">  
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete\">
</form>

";}


}
closedir($handle);
?>

and delete.php

PHP Code:

<?php
$path='./';// change the path here where images are
$Name=$_POST['Name'];

$PathFIle=$path.$Name;

$PathFile = basename($PathFile); 

if (is_file($PathFile)) 
    unlink($PathFile);  

header('Location: view.php');
?>

Fixed the error message...had a whitespace problem.

Now the view.php works well. It displays the images along with the delete button. However when the delete button is pressed the page refreshes back to view.php and the image still exists.

[sac0o01]

I found the problem. Works great!!! Thanks for all your help.

The error was caused by this:

PHP Code:

$PathFIle=$path.$Name; 


Changed it to this and it works great!

PHP Code:

$PathFile=$path.$Name; 


One last question if I can bother just once more.

Is there a way to set the display order? Perhaps by date it was saved? If there are duplicates or triplicates of an image (with different file names...) it can be rather difficult to find them because they are spread out through the list. How does the script call up the order?
