Show all images in a folder

spighita

Hello:
How can I show all the pictures inside a folder with only php. Like if I upload all the pictures to a specific directory and then php would call them and show them on the HTML.

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps.

I suggest checking out the directory functions in the PHP manual.

Here is an example to get you started. You may have to debug

<?
if ($img_folder=opendir('/file-path-to-images')) { ?>

<table border="0"><?
     $in_col=0;
     while ($img=readdir($img_folder)) {
          $in_col++;
          if ($in_col==0) { ?>

<tr><?
          } ?>

 <td style="text-align:center;"><img src="web-path-to-images/<? echo($img) ?>"><br>
      <? echo($img) ?></td><?
      if ($in_col==4) { ?>

</tr><?
               $in_col=0;
          }
     }
     closedir($img_folder); ?>

</table><?
} ?>

Might just be me that finds that a bit confusing, if so, many apologies, this is solely for my benefit!!! $in_col++; is also in the wrong place, you'll never start a new row otherwise!

<?php
if ($img_folder=opendir('local/path/to/images')) { 
echo "<table border='0'>"; 
$in_col=0;  

while ($img=readdir($img_folder)) {
		  if (($img == ".") or ($img == "..")){  

		  	continue;
		  }
          if ($in_col==0) { 
            echo "<tr>"; 
          } 
          echo "<td style='text-align:center;'><img src='real/path/to/images/$img'><br></td>"; 
          $in_col++; 
          if ($in_col==4) { 
              echo "</tr>"; 
              $in_col=0;  

          }  

     }  

     closedir($img_folder); 
     echo "</table>";
}
?>

This is the code i use to do that

1) Insert the following code at the top of your html code

<?php

function allInDir($dir)
{

if (trim($dir) != "")
{
$handle = opendir($dir) or die("Directory \"$dir\"not found.");
while($entry = readdir($handle)) 
{
$entryArray[] = $entry; 
}
sort($entryArray);
$loop = 0;
while ($loop < count($entryArray)) {
$instance = $entryArray[$loop];
if (strstr($instance, ".jpg")) {

echo "<font face=arial size=2><a href=\"$dir/$entryArray[$loop]\" target=\"_blank\">$entryArray[$loop]</a><br></font>";
}
$loop++;

}
}
}

?>

2) Insert the following code where you want the list of files to appear:

<?php allInDir($dir); ?>

3) Save your page as a php file (e.g. photodisplayer.php) and upload to your webspace.

4) Visit http://yourwebsite/photodisplayer.php?dir=DIRECTORY replacing yourwebsite with your website address, photodisplayer.php with the name you gave the php file, and DIRECTORY with the directory you wish to view.

gaz, try to place your PHP code within [php] and [/php] tags when posting in forums.
