display images in directory that begin with "refl_"

[m_tyhurst2002]

Hey guys, I have a folder which has images. In this folder there are images that start with "refl_". I want to make sure those are not displayed. This is what I tried and it does not work. I want to show all images that don't start with "refl_". I am new to this as I am sure some can see. Thanks for the help if possible!

 

<?php
			$dir = opendir("img/portfolio/");
			while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) 
			{
			$pos = strpos($file, "refl_");
			if ($pos == false)
				{ 
				echo '<img src="img/portfolio/' . $file . '" longdesc="img/portfolio/' . $file . '" /></a>';
				}
			}
		?>

Read the manual page for strpos to understand how it works.

 

Once you've done that, ditch your current code and use glob instead.

Thanks, glob() was able to do it all kind of. Changed file names for the ones that I want shown to have "www_" at the begining.

 

<?php
                $dir = "img/portfolio/www_*";
                foreach (glob($dir) as $file)
                {
           	 		echo '<img src="' . $file . '" longdesc="' . $file . '" width="800" height="481" />';
                }
            ?> 

 

I am trying to learn... I guess I wouldn't need to closedir() if I didn't opendir() right, since I am using glob()? Thanks
