Get Filenames

[kbc1]

Hi,

I dont know if this is possible but...

I have a folder on disk which contains X number of images.

Folder Structure would be as follows:

../images/highres/

Can anyone provide an snippet of PHP code which would look into the highres folder and get the names of each image firstly and then ultimiatley update individual records in a database record with each fielname retrieved?

The UPDATE query part is not a problem, its just putting it in the correct place of the PHP that I need to establish.

Even an idea on where to start looking would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Kris.

maybe "scandir" will help,

$dirContent = scandir ( '/images/highres/' );
for( $i=0; $i<sizeof($dirContent); $i++ )
{
      $filename=$dirContent[ $i ];
      if ( ! is_dir ( $filename ) )
      {
           // UPDATE here
      }
}

Hi,

Thanks for this but I am running PHP 4 not 5 and the scandir function does not work.

Would you be able to point out where I could put the UPDATE query in this below as this seems to do what i need:

	$pathtoimages = "my/path/to/images/";

$dir = $pathtoimages;
$dh  = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
   $files[] = $filename;
}

sort($files);

print_r($files);

Thanks in advance

You can do a foreach loop:

foreach ($files as $value)
{
 // Put your Update script here. It'll run through each element of the $files array one at a time
}

I see that everybody here loves writing a lot of code 😃

foreach(glob('/images/highres/*.*') as $_file)
{
//in $_file variable u have current filename
}
