Errr.. dude, you link gives a Page Not Found error. Are you sure you posted the correct link ?

[Quatrux 4]

maybe that was just an example ? if i got it right he wants to have a php script, a gallery script which would show all the images from some kind of a site gathering them from <img> tags or similar ???to answer his question, everything is possible, but knowledge and time is needed, you would need a lot of regular expressions in my opinion, but I might have got it wrong.. :S

please edit this post, i would like to add and remove this line..Oh, or maybe he justs wants to gather all the pictures from a directory viewer?dir=galleries/01 something like this.. yes it is possible.. and quite easy, but for a gallery I would recommend that you put all the filenames to a database like mysql and count a lot of stuff, hits, views add comments, ratings and stuff.

Ahaa I misinterpreted his post..

 

Anyway - what you seek is quite easy to do - but the format of the link you've stated is quite unnecessary... a better approach would be something like:

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ - and you simply keep changing the last number to switch galleries.

Yes, that is what i mean, microscopic earthling,can someone help me?Has someone such a script or where can i learn itthanks

well, if you do not want to write one yourself, because I think you can't and not many here would want to write it for you in my opinion, go and download one and install, there are really a lot of different php gallery's, search google or hotscripts.. and if you will get an account here, you will have access to fantastico and from there you could install some galleries like: 4Images Gallery, Coppermine Photo Gallery and Gallery.. that is how they are called.

Gallery homepage: http://galleryproject.org/
Coppermine Photo Gallery homepage: http://coppermine-gallery.net/
4Images Gallery homepage: https://www.4homepages.de/

these are the more powerfull available on the "market" I remember I wrote a gallery script for myself with rating and comments and stuff, but never finished the control panel, was adding the pictures by editing some script source, I mean manually, but I dropped everything later.

Here is you a link so you can at least get started thinking about what you will eventually end up with. Even though you might now only have a few images you would want to have a gallery that is easy to update and maintain. Try this link Create An Online Photo Gallery. This should help you out in your quest.

Well, in an effort to help you out with this question, I wrote a tutorial which may be a bit advanced for you if you are just starting out in PHP but it can easily be turned into a working script with a little work.

hello,
thanks vujsa, with your tut i came a lot further,
and now i have this;

<?php   # Do we have a path? if not, it's the current directory   $path = $_GET["path"];   if( !isset( $path ) || $path == "" )  {     $path = ".";   }   # Initialise list arrays, directories and files separately and array counters for them   $d_arr = array(); $d = 0;   $f_arr = array(); $f = 0;   # Open possibly available directory   if( is_dir( $path ) ) {     if( $handle = opendir( $path ) ) {         while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $handle ) ) ) {           # Make sure we don't push parental directories or dotfiles (unix) into the arrays           if( $file != "." && $file != ".." && $file[0] != "." ) {               if( is_dir( $path . "/" . $file ) )                 # Create array for directories                 $d_arr[$d++] = $file;               else                 # Create array for files                 $f_arr[$f++] = $file;           }         }     }   }   # Wrap things up if we're in a directory   if( is_dir( $handle ) ) closedir( $handle );  # Sort and reset the arrays   sort( $d_arr ); reset( $d_arr );   sort( $f_arr ); reset( $f_arr );   # Print file list   for( $i=0; $i < count( $f_arr ); $i++ ) {     # Only print path and filename     print "<a href=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\"><img src=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\"></a><br><br>\n";        }?>

So, you have the images all sorted under each other, with a link to the image, but i want that the image that is shown is if width is bigger then 500px it shows it with the 500px with so you have to click the iamge to the HQ pic,
so how do i do that? In html its just width="500", but here that doesn't work,

i found this script on the internet, maybe someone can put it together, if you need a script like this orso;

<?PHP$image = "/map/plaatje.gif"; $size = getimagesize("$image");$width = $size[0];$height = $size[1];if ($width > 294){    $width = 294;    $percent = ($size[0] / $width);    $height = ($size[1] / $percent);}?>

Thanks

Well,

border="0"

should do it.

 

Just change:

  # Print file list  for( $i=0; $i < count( $f_arr ); $i++ ) {    # Only print path and filename    print "<a href=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\"><img src=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\"></a><br><br>\n";     }

to:

  # Print file list  for( $i=0; $i < count( $f_arr ); $i++ ) {    # Only print path and filename    print "<a href=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\"><img src=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "border=\"0\" \"></a><br><br>\n";     }

You can also control this with CSS by adding a class to the thumbnails and specifying that it should not have a boreder in the CS file.

 

You'll have to play with the CSS a little to get everything right.

 

Hope this helps.

hello,
everything works like i want it to work now, but when i put it online, at the bottom it shows a square like the other pictures, but its the file 'thumbs.db' wich is invisible for me on my pc and server, so there is a blanc image at the bottom, now, my question is, can you let the php-code let only show the .jpg and .JPG files? How?

Here's my code;

<?php   $path = $_GET["path"];   if( !isset( $path ) || $path == "" )  {     $path = ".";   }   $d_arr = array(); $d = 0;   $f_arr = array(); $f = 0;   if( is_dir( $path ) ) {     if( $handle = opendir( $path ) ) {         while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $handle ) ) ) {            if( $file != "." && $file != ".." && $file[0] != "." ) {               if( is_dir( $path . "/" . $file ) )                                  $d_arr[$d++] = $file;               else                 $f_arr[$f++] = $file;           }         }     }   }   if( is_dir( $handle ) ) closedir( $handle );   sort( $d_arr ); reset( $d_arr );   sort( $f_arr ); reset( $f_arr );   for( $i=0; $i < count( $f_arr ); $i++ ) {     print "<center><a href=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\" target=\"_blanc\"><img src=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\" width=\"550\" border=\"0\"></a><br><br>\n</center>";        }?>

Thanks

thumbs.db

 

The quickest and easiest way if it is only the thumbs.bd file is to change the following:

   for( $i=0; $i < count( $f_arr ); $i++ ) {     print "<center><a href=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\" target=\"_blanc\"><img src=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\" width=\"550\" border=\"0\"></a><br><br>\n</center>";        }?>

to:

   for( $i=0; $i < count( $f_arr ); $i++ ) {    if ($f_arr[$i] != 'thumbs.db') {     print "<center><a href=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\" target=\"_blanc\"><img src=\"" . $path . "/" . $f_arr[$i] . "\" width=\"550\" border=\"0\"></a><br><br>\n</center>";    }   }?>

Basically, only print the HTML if the filename is NOT thumbs.db.

 

Yo can also write a more complex function to only allow know image types. This would be more difficult but I'm sure we can help out if you want us to.

 

Yet another way to deal specifically with the thumbs.db is to add an .htaccess rule to disallow that file to be shown or used by HTML or PHP.

 

Hope This Helps.
