Topic: [SOLVED] Display all images from a directory?

[tagger]

Hi, I'm new to php and hope to find some help here. I searched for this but couldn't find anything.
I know HTML and CSS very well.

I'm a lazy guy who has to upload a fair amount of pictures and show them online.
To make the story short: I'm an artist who tries to upload every sketchbook page to show others.
Basically I would like to have 1 directory where I could upload images (jpg format) and the script searches through that directory and displays all the images with <img> tags.

I would like to have the index.php in the root directory and the images in a folder called 'images'.

I would be very glad if somebody could code something for me and gve a small explanation.
I made a script which didn't 'really' worked out because it did display the images but also other weird stuff that I don't understand.

Thanks in advance!

As simple as it gets - glob() is explained in the manual. Add this to your main folder (as index.php if you want).

Code: [Select]

<?php
foreach (glob("images/*.jpg") as $filename) {
    echo "<img src='" . $filename . "'><br/>";
}
?>

Works perfectly, thanks a lot!

I have an additional question, it would be great if you could answer this too:

When I want to apply a style or use a class tag with the image can I just do it like this:

Code: [Select]

<?php
foreach (glob("images/*.jpg") as $filename) {
    echo "<img class="sketchbookimages" src='" . $filename . "'><br/>";
}
?>

Like below:

Code: [Select]

<?php
foreach (glob("images/*.jpg") as $filename) {
    echo '<img class="sketchbookimages" src="' . $filename . '"><br/>';
}
?>

Thanks to this i made a script (I dont achually need it but i still made it i still had problems lol but i fixed them)

Code: [Select]

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
foreach(glob("*.php") as $filename){
  echo "<a href=\"$filename\">$filename</a> <br />";
  }
?>
it will get all the file names with .php and link to the file name like a directory kinda
