find all images in a folder starting by "photo_" and display them

[gdfhghjdfghgfhf]

i have a bunch of pics in a folder of my site (called /images/), and on a page i'd like to display all pictures starting with the prefix "photo_"

 

the files i want are all starting by photo_ but have different names, and there is too many to enter them manually

 

how would it be possible to find all pics with that particuliar prefix, and display them?

glob() is your friend

 

<?php

//Get all of the pictures that start with "photo_"
$pics = glob("images/photo_*");

//Display them 
foreach($pics as $pic)
echo '<image src="images/'.$pic.'"><br>\n';

?>

 

 

Orio.

Thanks a lot! Did exactly what i wanted

 

only one detail: the first image i am getting is blank, it is trying to show image from "images/photo_" nothing more... there isnt even a filename after the prefix....

 

i have 8 images in the folder i am testing, and it is displaying 9... so its not a problem with the files or the filenames

 

weird

Just to make sure

 

foreach($pics as $pic)
if ( file_exists('images/'.$pic) )
	echo '<image src="images/'.$pic.'"><br>\n';

 

Seems redundant though. Try dumping $pics with print_r... might help you get to the bottom of the invalid file issue.
