Call up images in a folder: NEWBIE

[phatnugs420@comcast.net]

Hi all, I was interested in calling up all the images in a specific file
path and display them in rows and also hyperlink them to specific pages.
What is the easiest way to start this? Thanks so much in advance. - Mikey P.

Untested but should do it.

Nothing to add to Richards sollution.

Most of the time when I work with pictures, I use GDLib as well for
automatically making thumbnails etc. Don't know if it is any use for
you, but I think you should check it out!

Don't you think it's rude when a person asking for help can't even be arsed
to reply?

What I was trying to say is that your post already covered it al - it
simply is THE way. My post was more intended to give an extra tip to a
newbie (at least that what he calles himself). I which I found out about
gdlib long before I did - it makes life a lot easier :).

Sorry if I offended you - but it doesn't really matter as long as
phatnugs is happy :P

You didn't offend me, the person asking the question did by not replying.

Wow :) what did I start here :) and you are correct I didn't visit it in a
timely manner. I apologize I was out of town... But the first response
worked great! Thanks so much.. Hope now everyone has breathed a sigh of
relief since I'm posting :)... J/k :) Again thanks so much for your response
and all your help.

wow, that's neat! I'm trying to do roughly the same thing, and (being a
beginner), I'm messing about with arrays, '$maximageid', etc. This is much
more efficient. I just have a couple of questions for complete
understanding. Hope you don't mind.

It looks like the opendir() and the readdir() provide an array or list of
values, and the while loop means 'do this for each of the list of values'.
with ".." and "." being the only ones that aren't images. Is that right?

I want to make galleries with a large number of images (maybe 150-200) and I
don't want the user to wait for all those thumbnails, so I'm trying to split
the gallery up into pages of 20. I'm thinking of dividing the number of
images by 20 and making an array of filenames for each page, or just
specifying a $firstimage variable, and displaying the next 20 (I don't mind
if someone manually puts an odd number in the URL). Would you recommend
either approach, or neither?! I don't really want to implement a complicated
off-the-shelf system, I prefer a simple efficient one.

Thanks for any comments from anyone!
