[RESOLVED] Another PHP Gallery Script - Help Please...

mbrown174

Hello,
I would like to create my own gallery script rather than using one from a website. I know what I need to do, but I dont know how to do it.

I wish to create a gallery by having the PHP check a directory and then display the images resized to say 1/4 of their original size. By this I dont mean the filesize has to change - just the height and width of the image displayed.

This is what I have so far - any pointers please?

<?php
print_r(scandir("images"));
?>

This is turn should output an array...
Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => dog.jpg
[3] => house.jpg
[4] => logo.gif
)
Perhaps theres a way to add some HTML to the above code, say <img src="" width="320" height="240"> so it would display the images from the array. I might just be grabbing at straws here, but be kind I'm a newbie!

Thanks for any help!

To be more accurate - perhaps I'm looking for something like this...
<?php
$data = scandir("images"); --->Scans for images
print('<img src="" alt="gallery" width="320" height="240">'.$data); --->Displays images
?>

Gallery Script Code with images as default folder...
<?
function CheckExt($filename, $ext) {
$passed = FALSE;
$testExt = ".".$ext."$";
if (eregi($testExt, $filename)) {
$passed = TRUE;
}
return $passed;
}

//Define an array of common extensions.
$exts = array("gif","jpg$|\.jpeg","png","bmp");

echo "<b>Images in this folder:</b>";
$dir = opendir("images");
$files = readdir($dir);

while (false !== ($files = readdir($dir))) {
foreach ($exts as $value) {
if (CheckExt($files, $value)) {
echo "<a href=\"images/$files\"><img src=\"images/$files\"width=\"160\" height=\"120\" alt=\"gallery\"></a>\n";
$count++; //Keep track of the total number of files.
break; //No need to keep looping if we've got a match.
}
}

}
echo $count." image(s) found in this directory.\n";
echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."\">Refresh</a>\n";
//Be a good script and clean up after yourself...
closedir($dir);
