Getting a path: DirectoryIterator::getPath

[gwolgamott]

Having thinking issues.... Just a stupid simple question I'm just having issues wrapping head around for some dumb reason.....

 

Using this code here.

 

$file = $fileinfo->getFilename(); //prints file
        	$path = $fileinfo->getPath(); // get path

        	$pic_name = $fileinfo->getBasename('.jpg');
        	echo ('<li><span class="file"><a href="'.$path.'/'.$file.'" title="'.$pic_name.'" rel="gb_imageset['.$SetName.']">'.$picname.'</a></span></li>');

 

the structure setup is as such a folder with subfolders as follows:

MPOP     ------- Parent folder
THUMBS -------- child to MPOP folder
A - L      --------- child to MPOP folder
M - Z     --------- child to MPOP folder

 

The above code is within a recursive function that creates the links... works great not a problem but how would I get the THUMBS be displayed instead of the file name as the link. Thumbs name in the THUMBS folder is the same but has "TN_" as a prefix to the file name.

 

 

Below is the entire function if curious in that btw:

function Tree_Photo($tree_path, $orig_path, $SetName)
{

$I_T_H = NULL; // I_T_H used to detect of there is anything to list. Else main program displays something like a message or the like.
$iterator = new DirectoryIterator($tree_path);
foreach ($iterator as $fileinfo) 
{
    if ($fileinfo->isFile() && $fileinfo!= 'struct.php' && $fileinfo!='index.php'&& $fileinfo!='index.htm'&& $fileinfo!='index.html'&& $fileinfo!='Thumbs.db') 
    	{
        	$file = $fileinfo->getFilename(); //prints file
        	$path = $fileinfo->getPath(); // get path
        	//echo $file."<br>";

        	//$file_array = explode(".",$file);  // WAS USED TO REMOVE SUFFIX BUT NAMES HAVE "." in them too
        	//$pic_name = $file_array[0];
        	$pic_name = $fileinfo->getBasename('.jpg');
        	echo ('<li><span class="file"><a href="'.$path.'/'.$file.'" title="'.$pic_name.'" rel="gb_imageset['.$SetName.']"><img src="'.$file.'" alt="'.$picname.'"></a></span></li>');
        	//<a href="/index/Photos/Hourly Employee Photos/A - D/Ambroziak, Mike.jpg" title="Ambroziak, Mike" rel="gb_imageset[NAME]">HTML</a>
		//<a href="/index/Photos/Hourly Employee Photos/A - D/Adams, John.jpg" title="Adams, John" rel="gb_imageset[NAME]">HTML</a>	
    
        	$I_T_H = 1;
    	}	
    	//echo $orig_path;
    	if($fileinfo->isDir()&&$fileinfo != $orig_path)
	{
		if($fileinfo->isDot()) continue; //bypasses . & ..

		$folder = $fileinfo->getFilename(); //prints directory//

		if($folder == "Obsolete") continue; //bypasses Obsolete folders
		if($folder == "THUMBS") continue; //bypasses THUMBS for now

        	//echo "D->".$folder."<br>";
        	echo('<li><span class="folder"><strong>'.$folder.'</strong></span>
				<ul>');
        	//<li><span class="folder"><strong>Home</strong></span>
		//<ul>
        	Tree_Photo($tree_path."/".$folder,$orig_path,$SetName);
        	echo "</ul>";
        	$I_T_H = 1;
	}


}// end of foreach

return $I_T_H;

It's not clear (to me) what you're asking.  What precisely are you wanting to do?

[gwolgamott]

Sorry, yeah that's a bit off isn't it. tired...

 

I want to replace this line here: <img src="'.$file.'" alt="'.$picname.'">

So I can display the thumb picture from the THUMBS folder.

 

This function makes a dynamic list of links for pictures, I want the links to be the thumb pictures that are stored in the THUMBS folder. that img link there now does nothing because it's a dead link as it is, since I'm not pointing the path to the Thumbs picture....  what I need help getting is the path of the THUMBS folder dynamically. So I can say something like this: <img src="'.$thumb_path.'/'.$file.'" alt="'.$picname.'">  It's the $thumb_path part I'm lost in confusion with. 

 

Using $path = $fileinfo->getPath();  Will get me the path to particular item but I need the path to get that is one back named THUMBS where a file will be identicaly named in there of the larger picture.

 

 

 

Correction: ignore this comment as it is not how its setup----"Thumbs name in the THUMBS folder is the same but has "TN_" as a prefix to the file name."

Did it with this... wow I am not thinking straight today. Thanks for trying to help though.

$pic_name = $fileinfo->getBasename('.jpg');
        	$thumbnailer = explode("/",$path);
        	array_pop($thumbnailer);
        	$thumbnailer = implode("/",$thumbnailer);
        	$thumbnailer = $thumbnailer.'/THUMBS/'.$file;
      
        	echo ('<li><span class="file"><a href="'.$path.'/'.$file.'" title="'.$pic_name.'" rel="gb_imageset['.$SetName.']"><img src="'.$thumbnailer.'" alt="'.$picname.'"></a></span></li>');

Perhaps you could instead just use $thumbnailer = dirname($path) . '/THUMBS/' . $pic_name

If you need any more help with the DirectoryIterator feel free to ask, I literally wrote the manual for it.

That is more of what I was looking for actually didn't want to do explode just because... but it was a couple lines so broke down and used it.  And I may end up taking you up on that offer... could have used a reference when I first discovered directoyiterator a few months ago haha. Thanks btw.

No worries, good to see this particular question get sorted and you know where I am for any more.
