selecting certain filenames from dir

[scbmx]

i have a script to select file from a folder. they are all images(.jpg) right now, but i would like to be able to put video files(.mov,.wmv,.mpeg) in the same folder, but the catch is, i want the images in one spot on the page and the videos on another spot.

heres the script im current ly using which work fine, i just want to know how to adapt it to do the above.(the popup fuction just adds javascript to the <a href> it doesnt do anything else)

<?php
if (false !== ($dhandle = opendir($dirPath))) 
{ 
   $num = 0;
   while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dhandle)))
   { 
        if ($filename != "." && $filename != "..") 
        { 

popup("", "$filename", "$dirPath/$filename", "check.php?picture_location=./$dirPath/$filename&picture_save=./riderpics/nothing.jpg&size=50", "Description");
?>
<br>

    <?php
      $num++;
    } 
   }
}
?>

well really these a whole lot of stuff that doesnt need to be there take out all the ./ in the pop up thing and i noticed check.php?picture_location i dont think you can use _ in a URL i dont know i forgot

this works nicely:

$i = strrpos($filename,".");
if (!$i) {
	$ext = "";
}else{
	$l = strlen($filename) - $i;
	$ext = strtolower(substr($filename,$i+1,$l));
}

if ($ext == "jpg") {
	popup("", "$filename", "$dirPath/$filename", "check.php?picture_location=./$dirPath/$filename&picture_save=./riderpics/nothing.jpg&size=50", "Description");
}

Hope that helps 🙂

thanks, if i want it to only show multiple filenames can i just do this?

if ($ext == "wmv, mpeg, avi")

thanks

No, because that would look to see if $ext was equal to "wmv, mpeg, avi" (kind of obvious, that).

if ($ext == "wmv" || $ext == "mpeg" || $ext == "avi")

just run the script over several times with each file ext
