[SOLVED] loading images in back order (from Z to A)

[zolder]

This code loading all images from folder 'test' but in name order - 'form A to Z'. I want to load images invertly - 'from Z to A'. Do You have any ideas?

<?php
    if ($handle = opendir('test'))
        {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
            {
            if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.html")
                {
                echo "<img src=test/$file></a>";
                }
            }
        closedir($handle);
        }
?>

You could use array_push() to compile an array of all of the file names, and then use array_reverse() to reverse it

Depending on what else is in the folder you could try looking at http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php

it comes with an optional "sorting order" parameter.

Cleaner/easier to use glob

$images = glob("test/*.jpg");
rsort($images);

foreach($images as $image)
{
    echo '<img src="'.$image.'" />';
}

And if I want to use a thumbnails from other folder (test2), like this:

<?php
    if ($handle = opendir('test'))
        {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
            {
            if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.html")
                {
                echo "<a href=test/$file><img src=test2/$file></a>";
                }
            }
        closedir($handle);
        }
?>

Yes that'll work. However glob can still be used

define('IMAGE_DIR', 'test');
define('THUMB_DIR', 'test2');

$images = glob(IMAGE_DIR."/*.{png,jpg,bmp}", GLOB_BRACE);
rsort($images);

foreach($images as $image)
{
    $thumb = str_replace(IMAGE_DIR, THUMB_DIR, $image);

    echo '<img src="'.$image.'" /><br />';
    echo '<img src="'.$thumb.'" />';
}
