Array to Table

Anon

Hi Again,

So, what I'm doing is reading the files in a directory, pulling the ones that represent a thumbnail image into an array, and then I wish to place those filenames in a table. Here is what I have so far :

<?php

$dirPath = opendir(´images/march´);

while ($file = readdir($dirPath)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && (ereg(".html$", $file) != 1) && (ereg("^DCP", $file) != 1)) {
$thmbPics = ($file);
foreach ($thmbPics) {
echo "<CENTER>\n";
echo "<TABLE BORDER=1, CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=1>\n";
echo "<TR>\n";
echo "<TD>\n";
printf("<IMG SRC=\"images/march/%s\"><BR>\n", $file);
echo "</TD>\n";
echo "<TR>\n";
echo "<TD>\n";
printf("<IMG SRC=\"images/march/%s\"><BR>\n", $file);
echo "</TD>\n";
echo "</TR>\n";
echo "</TABLE>\n";
echo "</CENTER>";
}
}
}
?>

The $thmbPics is the array that I hold the filenames in. I'm confused on how to do a while or foreach statement that will get the value out of the array and into the table.

Thanks!

i've changed a couple of things such as if the extension ends in .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, or .png.

what are you using the "^DCP" ereg for btw?

<?php

$dirPath = opendir("images/march");

while ($file = readdir($dirPath))
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp{
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspif ($file != "." && $file != ".." &&
(eregi(".(gif)|(jpg)|(jpeg)|(png)$", $file) == 1) && (eregi("^DCP", $file) != 1))
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp{
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "<CENTER>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "<TABLE BORDER=1, CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=1>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "<TR>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "<TD>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "<IMG SRC=\"images/march/$file\"><BR>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "</TD>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "</TABLE>\n";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspecho "</CENTER>";
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp}
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp}
?>

Brandon,

Thanks for your input!

All my large image files in that directory start with DCP, while all the thumbnails start with thmb. That's why I'm using ^DCP so I only get the thmb images.

Hi,

I still need help on this! Thanks!

brandonschnell

what does the code i posted do when you test it? i tried the code i posted on my site and it brings up a table of images just like it should.

Brandon,

Yes, that works like you say. But, what I really need to do is have a table that will have 5 columns and x rows (depending on the number of thumbnails). That's why I figured I probably need to put them in an array and go through the array.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mark

you could do the array, but its a lot of unnecessary code.

try:

<BODY>

<?php

$columns = 5;
$counter = 1;

$dirPath = opendir("images/march/");

while ($file = readdir($dirPath))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." &&
(eregi(".(gif)|(jpg)|(jpeg)|(png)$", $file) == 1) && (eregi("^DCP", $file) != 1))
{
if ($counter % $columns == 1)
{
echo "<TR>\n";
}

	echo "<TD>\n"; 
	echo "<IMG SRC=\"images/march/$file\">\n"; 
	echo "</TD>\n";

	if ($counter % $columns == 0)
		{
		echo "</TR>\n";
		}

	$counter++; 
	} 
}

if (($counter % $columns != 0) && ($counter != 1))
{
echo "</TR>\n";
}

</TABLE>
</CENTER>

</BODY>

brandonschnell

change:
if (($counter % $columns != 0) && ($counter != 1))
{
echo "</TR>\n";
}

to:
if ((($counter-1) % $columns != 0) && ($counter != 1))
{
echo "</TR>\n";
}

Brandon,

Just what I needed! I had figured out part of that last night, but you helped me complete it. Thanks again!
