Dynamic Image Inserts

[[deleted]]

Hello,

I want to insert images to my webpage, the source folder carries images and the number of images is not fixed, I am using the following code:

$number = 14;
$current = 0;

while ($current < $number) {
++$current;

echo "<a href=insert.php><img border=0 src=http://localhost/insert_files/up$current.gif></a><br><br>";
//or exit("unable to open file up$current.gif");
}

Since the source folder has undefined number of images I want to insert them all without showing empty place holders of images, but the number of images are less than 50.

Can any one assist me in finding the solution? Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting to do. From how I understand it, your code works for what you want to do. You could also use a for just as easily, too.

A little more information would be helpful.

I want to pic images from a folder over the www, this folder has number of images which is not fixed, today, if there are 45 images, yesterday it may have 35 images.

I want to pick them all and show them on my page. That is it!

Obviously I don't know the number of images, but they are 50 at most.

$path = "path/to/the/img/dir";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
  if(is_file($file)) {
    $filecount++;
  }
}
closedir($dir_handle);

This will open the directory and loop through every file and folder, check if it is a file, then inc the count. It incs $filecount.

The name of the images that I want to pick from that folder are named as: up5.gif, up4.gif, up3.gif, up2.gif, up1.gif and there are upto 50 images.

Mordecai can you plz tell me how to modify your code to pick images from the folder: http://localhost/insert_files and show them on my script page?

Thanks.

$path = "./insert_files";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
  if(is_file($file)) {
    $filecount++;
  }
}
closedir($dir_handle);
for ($i=0;$i<=$filecount;$i++) {
  echo("<img src=\"up$i.gif\">");
}
