cooldude832 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I'm trying to make a simple way to make a dynamic photo gallery function. This is my idea: First have a folder called Pics, in pics is a folder for images of different type (the criteria fun,events,nature) then in there I dump the images sorted by types in there with a basic numbering scheme of 01.jpg,02.jpg,03.jpg,04.jpg. Anyone got any ideas on a way I can read all the pictures in the subfolders and view them without having to give a count of images?

AndyB Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 You can read the names into an array simply by using the glob() function. When you have a lot of images you probably want to display them a few at a time, rather than all together. Knowing how many you have will be useful for paging through them.
