Array in a while loop

RickyD77

ok this is my code
<html><body>
<?
$path = 'images/';
$counter=0;
$counterStart = 0 ;
$counterEnd = $counterStart + 16 ;
$img='';
$imgTotal=0;

$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if (substr($file, -3) == 'gif') {
$imgTotal++;
$counter++ ;
if ($counter > $counterStart && $counter <= $counterEnd) {
$ImgArray=Array($counter=>$file,);

} }}

closedir($dir_handle);
?>
<?php
echo "($ImgArray[1])";
?>
</body></html>

how can i access my array outside the loop???

thx

I didn't test it but this should be closer. Declare the array variable in scope of where you intend to use it, then add array elements inside the loop (instead of recreating the array each time):

<? 
$path = 'images/'; 
$counter=0; 
$counterStart = 0 ; 
$counterEnd = $counterStart + 16 ; 
$img=''; 
$imgTotal=0; 
$ImgArray=Array();
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); 
while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { 
  if (substr($file, -3) == 'gif') { 
    $imgTotal++; 
    $counter++ ; 
    if ($counter > $counterStart && $counter <= $counterEnd) { 
      $ImgArray[$counter] = $file; 
    }
  }
} 
closedir($dir_handle); 
?> 
<?php 
echo "($ImgArray[1])"; 
?>
