02simond Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi I am trying to build a site which has an image gallery with links on it. I want to list the the images in different ways and I have successfully made it work with a "shuffle"-script like this: <?php $links[] = Array("../r/ahlens.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/brothers.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/hm.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/kappahl.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/mq.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("sida1.php", "k/l.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/kappahl.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/mq.html", "k/k.jpg"); $links[] = Array("../r/nk.html", "k/k.jpg"); shuffle($links); foreach($links as $link){ echo "<a href=\"${link[0]}\" ><img src=\"${link[1]}\" class=\"randomImage\" /></a> "; } ?> It works fine and opens a new page when clicked. Now I would like to make it listed by file name instead of shuffling. How do I do that without loosing the links? And can it be done with a Directory because there will be a lot more photos in the future? (I would also like the link to pages to be opened in a nice popup. Can I implement that?) Thanks in advance!

requinix Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 - array_multisort can sort the array on whichever filename you want. - When you eventually create $links from files in a directory, use glob: it sorts by filename automatically. - Yes, you can do popups. But define "popup". Window? Something on the page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you show a sample code? I would like popups in this style(when you click on a picture): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/php-photoalbum.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Is array_multisort and glob two different ways of doing the same thing? No, they're two completely different functions. Read the manual to see what they do. And do I get the links with one of these solutions? Can you show a sample code? You'd make the links the same way you're doing now. The only difference is that the array is sorted before you display what's in it.

Im sorry but I dont know php that well at all. As I will upload new photos to replace the old often the order will need to change often. I dont know how to apply glob or multisort. I started out trying the script on the dynamicdrive site but when I got to the links I realized that it wasnt fixed to each picture. Otherwise that would have been a perfect script. Is there a simple way to modify that script so that each photo in the directory has it's own link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02simond Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think I can solve my problem if I only can change the shuffle command to a command that lists the photos based on their creation date. If you could help me write that part I think I will solve the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 You can't really do creation date. Most Linux systems don't track that information. You can do modified date, however: get an array of files and use usort. $files = array("1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg..."); usort($files, "filemtime"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried replacing "shuffle($links);" from my first post with "usort($links, "filemtime");" but I just got this error repeated over the screen: Warning: Wrong parameter count for filemtime() in /storage/content/79/129179/xn--trdet-hra.se/public_html/r/s.php on line 52 How do I fix this as I have multiple arrays that shows a picture with a link?

requinix Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 To use filemtime() like that the $files (or $links) array needs to be just an array of filenames. It can't be an array of arrays. Start with this $links = Array(); $links["../r/ahlens.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/brothers.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/hm.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/kappahl.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/mq.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["sida1.php"] = "k/l.jpg"; $links["../r/nk.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; shuffle($links); foreach($links as $file => $image){ echo " "; } ?> and instead of shuffle() use uasort($links, "filemtime"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate all your help Tried this but now the links doesnt work. It just links to numbers. The first picture links to 1, the second to 2 and so on. How do I fix this? The shuffle command works fine but when I try uasort($links, "filemtime"); it says like this: Warning: Wrong parameter count for filemtime() in /storage/content/79/129179/xn--trdet-hra.se/public_html/r/s.php on line 48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02simond Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 What's your code now? Like this: <?php $links = Array(); $links["../r/ahlens.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/brothers.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/hm.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/kappahl.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["../r/mq.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; $links["sida1.php"] = "k/l.jpg"; $links["../r/nk.html"] = "k/k.jpg"; shuffle($links); foreach($links as $file => $image){ echo "<a href=\"$file\" ><img src=\"$image\" class=\"randomImage\" /></a> "; } ?> This makes links to numbers. like http://mypage.com/shuffle/1 if I click the top left image.

requinix Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 shuffle() will lose the HTML filenames in the array (the array "keys") and replace them with numbers. I thought you wanted to sort the array, not randomize it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02simond Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 shuffle() will lose the HTML filenames in the array (the array "keys") and replace them with numbers. I thought you wanted to sort the array, not randomize it... Yes I want to sort AND shuffle. I want to have both options on two different pages and I will have much more links later on so it would have been nice if I could have used the same code so I dont have to update to different lists of links. Anyway as I said in an earlier post when I try with uasort I get this message printed repeatedly: Warning: Wrong parameter count for filemtime() in /storage/content/79/129179/xn--trdet-hra.se/public_html/r/s.php on line 48 And as I get this faulty message the ordering by modified date doesnt work. Any clues why I get this message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shuffle command doesnt need to be on the same page or anything. I already have that working on another page. What I meant was that it would have been nice if I could include a php file with the list of files on both the shuffle page and the date order page - but as the array lists are different that doesnt work.

Not counting the array it's only a dozen lines of code, and you could collapse it down to half of that with a few seconds of work. - Why do you have two pages to do pretty much the same thing? - What array lists?
