Dynamic Image Gallery!?!?!!???

[cbowd]

Im trying to create a dynamic gallery thats is self referencing from the URL when the apporpriate image is select from the side bar.

This is the code in the navigation bar ....

<?php
$handle = opendir('Thumbs');
if($handle) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if(preg_match("/\w+(.gif)/",$file)){
$sendimage = substr(strtok($file, "."), 1, strlen($file)-3);
print "<a href='gallery.php?image=$sendimage'><img src=Thumbs/$file border='0'></a> <br><br>";

}
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>
It produces the list of images that are in the thumbs folder!!

Then this part ....... it just produces the last image in the folder rather than self referencing the URL.

<?php

print "<a href='gallery.php?image=$sendimage'><img src=images2/$sendimage.gif>";

?>

Any ideas??

could it be because the value last stored in $sendimage is that of the last thumbnail as each file name was read in turns using while loop, and it has not been updated with a new value at all as for your url referencing.

How would I go about defining the new value the url referencing?

[bongbong]

one way to do that is to store a new value for the (newly) chosen file name and send it as clicked:

<?php

print "<a href='gallery.php?image=".$sendimage."'><img src=images2/".$sendimage.".gif>";

?>

then get it to show the new image by using $_GET['sendimage']; after storing this new value in a varible.

you can find online tutorial on this everywhere. good luck.
