Display last modified image in a directory?

[shadysaiyan]

Is there a way to do this in PHP? ifso how please

[adam291086]

you could use the php function

 

getlastmod()

 

then using dates work out which one was modified last and then display it.

I believe you should use the readdir() and filemtime() functions.

 

$lastmtime = 0;
$lastfname = 

if ($dh = opendir("../upload/")) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
       if (filemtime($file) > $lastmtime) {
           $lastmtime = filemtime($file);
           $lastfname = $file;
       }
   }
}

echo "<img src='../upload/$lastfname' />";

 

I haven't tested this but I think it'd work.

It needs a value and a ;

idk what value to give it, i thought the IF statements was assigned to to it.

$lastmtime = 0;
$lastfname = "";

if ($dh = opendir("../upload/")) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
        if (filemtime($file) > $lastmtime) {
            $lastmtime = filemtime($file);
            $lastfname = $file;
        }
    }
}

echo "<img src='../upload/$lastfname' />";

That worked but how do i make it file specific? (ex. PNG, JPG, GIF, etc.)
