Here's what I came up with Given nick@avari ~/code/php $ ls -l -R .: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 nick nick 4096 Jul 13 13:27 audio drwxr-xr-x 2 nick nick 4096 Jul 13 13:27 images -rw-r--r-- 1 nick nick 1166 Jul 13 14:02 test.php ./audio: total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 nick nick 0 Jul 13 13:27 lol.mp3 ./images: total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 nick nick 0 Jul 13 13:27 lol.png Output: <a class='myPlayer' href='audio/lol.mp3' style='background-image:url(images/lol.png)'> </a> And... here's the code <?php function directory_to_array($dir) { $ret = array(); $dh = opendir($dir); while (($file=readdir($dh)) !== false) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") // ignore . and .. $ret[] = $file; } closedir($dh); return $ret; } function match_files($audio, $image) { //assume basename in $audio and $image are the same //merges the two to a new array $ret = array(); foreach ($audio as $name) { $abase = explode(".", $name); foreach ($image as $img) { $ibase = explode(".", $img); if ($abase[0] == $ibase[0]) { $ret[] = array($name, $img); } } } return $ret; } function merge_to_player($input) { foreach ($input as $pair) { print "<a class='myPlayer' href='audio/$pair[0]' style='background-image:url(images/$pair[1])'> </a> "; } } //get the audio directory contents $audio = directory_to_array("audio"); //get the image directory contents $image = directory_to_array("images"); $matched = match_files($audio, $image); merge_to_player($matched); ?>

The addition you'd need to make to your code, then, is to read the images directory in the same fashion as you are the audio directory The other piece of this, which I assume is what you're having trouble with, is understanding how to merge the two items in your array and display them. Take a look at building an array that would look like Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => song1.mp3 [1] => image1.png ) . . . ) Do you know how to do that?
