nisroc Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 What i am trying to do is create a gallery by using the paths to a folder as links, example is <a href="../gallery/scenes"> ... and ../gallery/cities.... I have a sidebar menu populated like this and works fast so i wish to keep it. Now in my main content area i have a php script that will read the directory contents and display the images in the folder into a div. I have two questions; <?php $path = "gallery/scenes"; $dh = opendir($path); while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo "<img src=\"$path/$file\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />"; } } closedir ($dh); ?> First is, folders are generating thumbs.db file when the images are called to the page. it has not affected me that i can see but i would like to cancel it out from the script anyway. To do so i wish to filter the db extension, but i do not know how, A little shove/push in right direction should help me here. Second Like i said in fist paragraph, i want to have a links that that point to a directory and that when clicked will trigger the script above. My problem is how would i trigger this script from a link? I really do not wish to create whole new page for each gallery. Thanks in advance for any help on these problems Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176252-file-extension-and-trigger/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 for 'first' change if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo "<img src=\"$path/$file\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />"; } to if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..") && (substr($file,strlen($file) - 3) != '.db')) { echo "<img src=\"$path/$file\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />"; } for 'second' you'd want htaccess Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176252-file-extension-and-trigger/#findComment-928861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisroc Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 That helped big time. I though browser was running slow cause of the image size now that i added that small part you suggested it is running normal again. ty Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176252-file-extension-and-trigger/#findComment-928877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
