help to display images in a directory

[Jnerocorp]

Hello,

 

is it possible for a php file to check a directory lets say for example called "images" to check the folder and only display the images in directory and not any files other than images.

 

The image filetypes that are in the directory are:

.bmp, .gif, .ico, .jpg, .png, .tiff

 

Help appreciated

John, check out this function http://ca2.php.net/opendir

 

edit: quickly wrote a script based off the site

 

<?php

// The folder you want to look in
$dir = "images/";

// check if the directory exists
if (is_dir($dir)) {
    // open that directory
    if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
        // while there are files within the folder
         while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
             echo "name".$file;     // show their name
             echo "<br>";           // break
         }
     }
}

?>

 

Also look into http://ca2.php.net/explode and http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php

<?php
echo '<a href="' . $imageurl . '"><img src="' . $imageurl . '" height="100" width="100"></a>';
?>
