List files in a directory

Need to remove '.' and '..'

[mooger35]

I have a slide show gallery that I want to make a little easier to update. What I would like is the files in my thumbs directory to be pulled automatically into the script.

This is the php code I found on this site but unfortunately the '.' and '..' are still causing problems. What I'd like is for them to not appear at all so the first row is my first file. Any help?

$imgdir = "images/gallery/thumbs/";
echo "<table border='1'>";
$img=opendir($imgdir);
while($imgb=readdir($img))
{
$imgb = str_replace(".","",$imgb);
$imgb = str_replace("..","",$imgb);
$imgb = str_replace("jpg",".jpg",$imgb);
echo "<tr><td>$imgb</td></tr>";
}
closedir($img);
echo "</table>";

dislpays:
. //str_replace removes and leaves as ""
.. //str_replace removes and leaves as ""
041010a.jpg
041010b.jpg
041010c.jpg
041010d.jpg
041010e.jpg
041114a.jpg
etc etc etc...

while($imgb=readdir($img))
{
if ($imgb!='.' && $imgb!='..')
{
echo "<tr><td>$imgb</td></tr>";
}
}

What you are now saying is if the variable does not equal . or .. list it. No need for str_replace here.

Hope that helps.

I've added "File:" to show my problem.

$imgdir = "images/gallery/thumbs/";
echo "<table border='1'>";
$img=opendir($imgdir);
while($imgb=readdir($img))
{
if ($read!='.' && $read!='..')
{
$imgb = str_replace(".","",$imgb);
$imgb = str_replace("..","",$imgb);
$imgb = str_replace("jpg",".jpg",$imgb);
echo "<tr><td>File: $imgb</td></tr>";
}
}
closedir($img);
echo "</table>";

Still gives me two blank rows:
File:
File:
File: 041010a.jpg
File: 041010b.jpg
File: 041010c.jpg
etc etc etc...

Sorry I updated my post. Got the variable names wrong. Check my previous post.

Perfect!

Thanks

You`re welcome. Again, sorry about that, I use $read that many times I typed it without thinking.

You can also use the continue (you're ini the loop)

while($imgb=readdir($img))
{
if ($imgb == '.' ¦¦ $imgb == '..') continue;

echo "<tr><td>$imgb</td></tr>";
}

Both are elegant solutions

You could also exclude . and .. by using the is_dir [php.net] function:

if (!is_dir($file)) {...

(See also is_file [php.net])
