This would be the perfect script if you didn’t still have to create thumbnails for it. It’s fine if you have a couple of images, but a large gallery would be a pain.

Try this, worked for me:

$dir = ‘files/’;
$scan = scandir($dir);

for ($i = 0; $i

if ($scan[$i] != ‘.’ && $scan[$i] != ‘..’) {
echo ‘

‘ . $scan[$i]. ‘

‘;
}
};
?>

i am a beginner with php, actually i really don’t know it at all, but this what i have been looking for. but is there a way to have the thumbnails open up with lightbox rather than display the larger image above the thumbnails the way they do in the demo?

It’s a great tutorial but is it possible to do this with .flv’s, or any other type of video file? I want it to create a text-link (instead of the thumbnail) that opens the .flv where the full-size pic is. i have tried my best but im not that good at php and scripts yet.

[...] A great idea for photography and portfolio type themes is to have php scan the images folder for the client. For example, lets say you are building a photography theme. We could use php to scan a folder named ‘images’, extract the images, and echo them out in an unordered list. We could take it a step further by scanning two directories, one for thumbnails and one for full size images. How can we do this? Luckily, Jeff came to our rescue again and has an excellent post on scanning folders with php. [...]

This is a great tutorial and exactly what I need for a project of mine!

I am wondering though, in the if statement you said you could exclude certain file types, is there is a way to exclude an entire file?

I have a file within the directory I am scanning and it is being added to the array. If anyone can help me to add the exception to the if statement that would help me a ton!

thanks!

i need a preview comment button! anyways, this was the import part of the 2nd function:

$thumbsrc = ‘data:image/jpeg;base64,’.base64_encode(exif_thumbnail($files[$i]['filelink']));

although when rendered, the source is HUGE
