Read txt file and pass each line as variable in a function

[tonysparks]

I'm designing a website that is update several times a week with a new gallery of images.

 

Each set of images is stored in it's own directory with a page that generates a gallery and textually describes the images in the directory. I want to create a page that reads from a list of the image directories and dynamically generates a link to each gallerey, 10 to a page.

 

something like this:

 

directorylist.txt

 

index.php reads directorylist.txt, places the first gallery listed at the top of the page, then 9 more links to the next 9 galleries. At the bottom of this page, links to the pages that contain galleries 11-20, 21-30, etc.

 

I have already created functions that take the gallery ID and generate the links, I just can't seem to figure out how to read from the text file, then generate the links in my main pages

<?php
$lines = file("directorylist.txt"); // generates an array from the text file
$size_of_list = count($lines); // number of entries
... more code ...
?>

 

Does that help?
