Loading an array from a directory

[jazz]

php 4.x running on a linux platform. Okay have a directory with a lot of .gif images which can change from time to time.

Need to be able to do something like

Loop
   x + = 1
   array_image[x] = "/source/images/*.gif"
   if no more exit
Repeat

Sorry for the pseudo code not being php style, but figured it kind of got the idea across 🙂

Thanks in advance (code examples would be good) 😃

Here is your homework 🙂 :
read up on these functions and see if you can't apply the sample code I have provided
opendir()
readdir()
is_file()

$folder = "/source/images/";
if ($handle = opendir($folder)) {
//this opens the directory if in fact it is a directory
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if (is_file("$folder/$file")) { 
          echo "$file\n";        

		} 
    }
    closedir($handle); 
}
