help with directory of images output

[sks1024]

I have an image upload script that uploads jpg's to a directory and writes an optional description of each image to a flat txt file ona a new line.

txt file looks like this:

imagename1;description1
imagename2;description2
imagename3;description3

The output now is displayed as a single image gallery with a link to click to next image

I want to display the galley as rows of 4 or 5 images per row with the description beneath each image.

Thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend a database they are much easier to work with.

Outside of that you will want to use the [man]file[/man] function it parses each line into an array

This is taken right out of the example in the php manual and I added the explode to get the the values out of each line.

$lines = file('http://www.example.com/');

foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
    list($imagename, $description) = explode(';', $line);
    echo '<img src="' . $imagename . '" /> <span>' . $description . '</span>;
}

This is what i need. How would I limit the output to say 3 images per row?

Thanks

That does depend on how you are making your rows. The correct way is a tableless method, but as generally most use tables I will demonstrate that.

<table>
<?php
$lines = file('http://www.example.com/');
$i = 1;
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
    list($imagename, $description) = explode(';', $line);
        if ($i == 1) {
?>
        <tr>
<?php
        }
?>
            <td>
                <img src="<?php echo $imagename; ?>" /><br />
                <span><?php echo $description; ?></span>
            </td>
<?php
        if ($i == 3) {
?>
        </tr>
<?php
            $i = 0;
        }
        $i++
}
?>
</table>
