array strangness

[home_spun]

Hey all,

I've a sneaking suspision that I'm missing somethimg fundamental here, but what I'm trying to do is take a directory listing and push all the .jpgs and .gifs to an array called $image_arry.

Here is the code,
<snippet>
$dir = opendir(".");
$image_array = array();
while (gettype($file = readdir($dir)) != boolean) {
if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) {
$filename = explode(".", $file);
$file_ext = $filename[count($filename)-1];
if (($file_ext = "jpg") || ($file_ext = "gif")) {
$image_array = array_push($image_array, $file);
}
}
}
</snippet>

My browser comes back with:
First argument to array_push() needs to be an array in test.php on line 39

Even when I force the type to be an array settype($image_array, 'array'); I get back an empty array.

Any body got any I ideas?

Thanks,
HS

 $image_array=array_push($image_array, $file); 

this is setting image_array to a boolean true

just use

array_push($image_array, $file); 

or

$image_array[]= $file;

Ah yes, I see now.

Thanks for that. 🙂
