Directory Indexing

Anon

I need someone's help. I have a directory collecting images from a webcam. They are being stored as 'yyyymmdd.jpg' Does anyone know of a pre written script or does anyone know how to take the name format and change it in to options on a drop down in the form of 'dd-mm-yyyy'. Once selected it will display the picture. Every time the webcam will upload the picture, the options get updated. I have it in ASP I just don't know PHP to get this done. Please help a fellow trying to get his system off Micro$oft...:!!

Here the script you need.

<FORM action="showpic.php" method="post">
Choose one
<SELECT name="picname">
<?

$dirname=getcwd();
$dir=opendir($dirname) or die();

while ( $filename=readdir($dir) )
{
$bits=explode(".", $filename);
if ( strtoupper($bits[1]) == "JPG" )
{
$date=substr($bits[0], 6, 2)."-".substr($bits[0], 4, 2)."-".substr($bits[0], 0, 4)
echo "<OPTION value=\"".$filename."\">".$date;
}
}

</SELECT>

</CENTER>

</FORM>

</CENTER>
</BODY>

This will submit the filename of the require picture in the variable picname. All you have to do is display the image based on that.

Mark.
