I'm using the following function to read a directory and show images as a gallery, it works really well, but I need to display images ordering by date from newer to older.
Knows anyone how to do it using this method?
function getPictures() {
global $page, $per_page, $has_previous, $has_next;
if ( $handle = opendir("saved/2013") ) {
$lightbox = rand();
$count = 0;
$skip = $page * $per_page;
if ( $skip != 0 )
$has_previous = true;
while ( $count < $skip && ($file = readdir($handle)) !== false ) {
if ( !is_dir($file) && ($type = getPictureType($file)) != '' )
$count++;
}
$count = 0;
while ( $count < $per_page && ($file = readdir($handle)) !== false ) {
if ( !is_dir($file) && ($type = getPictureType($file)) != '' ) {
if ( ! is_dir('saved/2013') ) {
mkdir('saved/2013');
}
$strFileName = "saved/2013/".$file;
echo '<div id="imagen-t">';
echo '<p>' .date( "D d M Y g:i A", filemtime($strFileName)) . "</p>";
echo '<p><a href="saved/2013/'.$file.'" rel="lightbox['.$lightbox.']"><img src=saved/2013/'.$file.' alt="" width="220" /></a></p>';
echo '</div>';
$count++;
}
}
while ( ($file = readdir($handle)) !== false ) {
if ( !is_dir($file) && ($type = getPictureType($file)) != '' ) {
$has_next = true;
break;
}
}
}
}
Here is the code working http://www.espigoplatja.com/whale/galeria/
By the way another possible solution to start index.php with the end of the page in this case http://www.espigoplatja.com/whale/galeria/?page=15
