[SOLVED] Slideshow?

[JP128]

Ok, I have graphics in the folder /images/, and I would just like to the main commands that are used to create a slide show...

I am sure some of them are like scandir, and also an array... but I would like it if someone more experienced could tell me them, thanks.

A slide show can not be done with php on it own you would need the page to refresh so meny times it would be madness what you need to do is use javascript or ajax to get a proper slide show in place or you could use flash.

flash seems to look the best and used via ebay

heres a link to help you ok.

You can do something like this:

[code]<?php

$images_dir = "/image-dir-here/";
$image_formats = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png"); //formats of pictures in the folder


$files = scandir($images_dir);
$i = 0;
$images = array();
foreach($files as $key => $filename)
{
if(in_array(strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1)), $image_formats))
{
$images[$i] = $filename;
$i++;
}
}

$num_pics = $i-1;
if($num_pics == -1)
die("No pics in folder");

if(isset($_GET['id']) && is_numeric($_GET['id']) && $_GET['id'] <= $num_pics && $_GET['id'] >= 0)
$id = $_GET['id'];
else
$id = 0;

echo '<img src="'.$images_dir.$images[$id].'"><br>';
if($id > 0)
echo '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?id='.($id-1).'">previous</a>';
echo '  ---  ';
if($id < $num_pics)
echo '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?id='.($id+1).'">next</a>';

?>[/code]

Orio.
