looping files from a folder

[Anon]

This script here is to loop out all the jpg-files in a selected folder ($dir) and display thumbnail images with a help from include.php.

Now I want it to show only 5 results at each time and and show the next files on the "next page" and so on...

I know that it's easy to do this if the files have numbers instead of letters or simbols but i have done it allready but i don't like it.

Any help would help. 🙂

<?php

//Input variables:
//$dir - The folder

$mappa = opendir($dir);

// The lopp is created
while (false !== ($file = readdir($mappa)) ) {
if (eregi("jpg$", $file)) {

// The loop printed
print ("<table width=450 border=0 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=#FFFFFF>");
print ("<tr bgcolor=#666666>");
print ("<td width=1><a href=$dir/$file><img src=include.php?sz=100&imageurl=$dir/$file border=0></a></td>");
print ("<td>");
print ("<!-- Here could be some file info -->");
print ("</td>");
print ("</tr>");
print ("</table><br>");

}
}
closedir($mappa);

?>

change the while... to a for
for ($x = 0; $x < 5; $x++) {
if ($file == readdir($mappa)) {
print...
print...
} else {
$x = 5;
}
}
