[SOLVED] scandir()

[dreamwest]

is it possible to scandir a random file??

 

This code selects the first file found

$dir = '/htdocs/user/site.com/thumbs/';
foreach(scandir($dir) as $file){

if (strtolower(substr($file, -4)) == '.jpg') {

	if (file_exists($dir . $file)) {

	$image = "/thumbs/".$file;
	echo $image;

	} else {
	//default image
	echo "There was an error getting the thumbnail ";
	}
}
}//end foreach

$scandir = scandir('/path/to/directory');
do {
   $file = array_rand($scandir);
} while (!is_file($file));

 

$dir . $file

 

is unneccessary as $file already has the directory prepended.
