File Directory and Files

[Anon]

I am building a photo gallery and I have all my images in one directory. I can open the directory and put all the names into an array, but I only want certain files. Like image names that contain vacation and not that contain family. I dont know how to do this. The only code I have is below...

<?php
$default_dir = "./images";
if(!($dp = opendir($default_dir))) die("Cannot open $default_dir");
while($file = readdir($dp)) $fnames[] = $file;
closedir($dp);
?>

here's your code right back at you with a quick change...

<?php
$default_dir = "./images";
//set this to whatever you DON'T want...
$exclude = 'family';

if(!($dp = opendir($default_dir))){ die("Cannot open $default_dir");
}

while($file = readdir($dp)) {
//and here's your big fixaroo...
if (!eregi("($exclude|.|..)",$file)) {
$fnames[] = $file;
}
}

closedir($dp);
?>
