I'm trying to make a slideshow with some images I have in a directory. I found a javascript that will create the show, but I have to manually put in the filename for each image that I want in the show. Is there not a way to use PHP to take filenames from a directory and put them in an array?

I need it to look like this:

Picture[1] = 'Image001.jpg';
Picture[2] = 'Image002.jpg';
Picture[3] = 'Image003.jpg';
Picture[4] = 'Image004.jpg';
and so on...

Any suggestions?

that funny i hat ethe same problem the other day i made the script that will make the text i mean you woul dhave to make little tweaks to it but can you give me the link to the script that does that please if you dont mind. here is the script that you have to tweek to get the fiels from the folder

PHP Code:

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('pics/test/')) 
{
   $url ='pics/test/';
   
   /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
   $i=0;
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) 
   {   
           if ($file != "." && $file != "..") 
        {
           //     print "<br>";  
               echo "leftrightslide[", $i , "]='<img src=\"" , $url , "/" , $file , "\" border=1>'";
             $i++;
           }
        else
        {
            $i=0;
            
        }
          
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

this is what it outputs

[HMTL]

leftrightslide[0]='<img src="pics/test/Picture 021.jpg" border=1>'
leftrightslide[1]='<img src="pics/test/Picture 031.jpg" border=1>'
leftrightslide[2]='<img src="pics/test/Picture 007.jpg" border=1>'
leftrightslide[3]='<img src="pics/test/Picture 002.jpg" border=1>'
leftrightslide[4]='<img src="pics/test/Picture 004.jpg" border=1>'
[/HTML]

can you hook me up with the script that you have

Thanks for the reply. Here's the script I'm trying to use...

I basically want to create a slideshow using all the images in a directory, but I don't want to have to type each image's name in the script for it to work.

Thanks again. :-)
