[Resolved] slideshow transitions

rikmoncur

Skip down two posts.....

I'm trying to combine a php file with a js file to create a slideshow with fading transitions between images.

Progressing:
The following code accesses an image directory, grabs all the images, gives them a number and writes them out in a list:


  <?
$uploadDir = 'PATH TO MY DIRECTORY';

   $i=0;
   if ($handle = opendir($uploadDir))
   do{ $i++; 
   if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
  	{
   echo 'fadeimages[' . $i . ']="' . $file . '"'; }

   }
   while  (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)));
   closedir($handle); 

?>

This fills out a js array with the files. I'm nearly there.

The array should look like:

fadeimages[0]="image1.jpg"
fadeimages[1]="image2.jpg"
fadeimages[2]="image3.jpg" etc etc....

But what I'm getting is:

fadeimages[1]=""
fadeimages[4]="image1.jpg"
fadeimages[5]="image2.jpg"
fadeimages[6]="image3.jpg"

Any idea why the array's screwed up?

Anyone else here.....???

So, anyway, in the code above, in the last post - if I remove the 'if' statement

($file != "." && $file != "..")

then the array numbers from 0,1,2,3, etc, as it should - but it's returning an empty "" for the first 3 files.

I suspect that it's reading the top level directory and the ./ and ../ or something like that.....

A bit of help here would be nice!

Isn't there some kinda php function like

<?php
$uploadDir = '/PATH TO MY IMAGE DIRECTORY';	
$i=-1;
   if ($handle = opendir($uploadDir))
   do{  

    if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "") 
  	{$i++;
echo 'fadeimages[' . $i . ']=["images/' . $file . '", "", ""]
'; 
   }
   }
   while  ($file = readdir($handle));
   closedir($handle); 
?>

Well thanx for nothin...!
Anyway, here's the working code if anyone wants it.
Get the js at dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm
add this php to the bit where it wants an array of pics. Drop the page into the directory above your image directory and you got yourself a cool slideshow.
