Looking for a small script!

[vxdom]

Not sure if this is the right forum as I'm new, so I apologise in advanced if need be!

 

I'm a real n00b to PHP. I'm looking for a little image gallery script that will show all the images in one folder, take a description from a text file and create a page like this:

 

<div>{title of directory1}<img src="{thumb.jpg from directory1}" /></div>

<div>{title of directory2}<img src="{thumb.jpg from directory2}" /></div>

<div>{title of directory3}<img src="{thumb.jpg from directory3}" /></div>

 

Which would link to show the contents as:

 

<div>{text from chosen directory/description.txt}</div>

<div>{title of chosen directory}</div>

<div>{image#1}{image#2}{image#3}{image#etc}</div>

 

So..

 

Trees (image of a tree)

Benches (image of a bench)

Clouds (image of a cloud)

 

Which would link to:

 

Here are some photos I have taken of Trees.

Trees

(image of tree1) (image of tree2) (image of tree3)

 

I've been told this is a simple enough thing to do so if anyone could help me out that'd be ace,

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Dom!

function directory_map($source_dir, $top_level_only = FALSE)

{

if ($fp = @opendir($source_dir))

{

$filedata = array();

while (FALSE !== ($file = readdir($fp)))

{

if (@is_dir($source_dir.$file) && substr($file, 0, 1) != '.' AND $top_level_only == FALSE)

{

$temp_array = array();

 

$temp_array = directory_map($source_dir.$file."/");

 

$filedata[$file] = $temp_array;

}

elseif (substr($file, 0, 1) != ".")

{

$filedata[] = $file;

}

}

return $filedata;

}

}

 

This'll grrab everything in a directory. Then just make them into images (easy)

Here's a simpler version, if you know the directories (or can at least put them in an array)

 

$directory = array("directory1","directory2","directory3");
foreach($directory as $dir){
$pattern = "$dir/*.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)";//may need to modify it for the images, but it should work
$files[] = glob($pattern);
}
print_r($files);

 

The glob() function is basically like a preg_match, in which you supply a pattern, it searches the path you give it, and returns all the files (in an array basically, per directory).
