Function for returning list of filenames in a directory??

[paulferree]

I was wondering if there was a function that would help me create a page that will look at a folder (an image folder, that I predefine) and return all the file names in that folder.

 

Is there a function already made for this, if there isn't how would I go about creating one?

 

I just want to upload my images to a folder and have the php extract them all and display them on the page.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Paul

http://php.net/readdir

 

if($handle = opendir('dir/'))
{
    while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) 
    {
        echo "$file \n";
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

Great!!  I should've checked the function reference manual first, I apologize...but this is better than the example given on the PHP site...thanks a lot Chris.

I was looking at this one BTW:

 

[pre]<?php

$dir = "/tmp";

$dh  = opendir($dir);

while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {

    $files[] = $filename;

}

 

sort($files);

 

print_r($files);

 

rsort($files);

 

print_r($files);

 

?>

[/pre]

Or you could use "glob" http://php.net/glob
