I read about glob() on php.net before I replied, but I believe now it's
registering. From what I understand glob works just like opendir() but does
everything all in just 1 function. so in your code I realize you passed the
variable $prefix into glob, along with the path to the files. This put the path
images/property_pics/ and each image name from glob into $prefix you then
assigne the value of $glob to $matches. Sound about right? :-)

YEOW! LOL I looked at this and I'm very stumped on 1 thing. How in the world
did you get $prefix to contain the image name without first assigning it to
$prefix? I understand the rest, but. Holy smokes, that's blown my mind. :-/

Stuart is, as usual, right on. Rather than do the filesystem
handlers and loops, you should definitely consider glob(). Not only
is it quicker, cleaner, and easier to use, but it's far less
resource-intensive than your current implementation.

There is no date yet, but I can say that just today the first serious discussion regarding the first release of the PHP 5.5 branch occurred, with a (very) preliminary target date of February or March of 2013. It's far more likely to see such a major BC change in at least a new minor branch. As for that happening in either the 5.4 or 5.3 series, I wouldn't consider that a serious possibility by any means. As for your hosting provider, it baffles me why they wouldn't support MySQLi, but a quick evaluation shows they still use old versions of Apache and OpenSSL, and are still using unpatched versions of PHP 5.2 in production. That said, they might keep their non-business support to a bare minimum to help control cost, though it does sacrifice some security and functionality. -- Network Infrastructure Manager http://www.php.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is there just one image in the folder that starts with the 9 digit number? In
that case it's dead simple (untested code):
';
?>
If you need to extract more than one image filename you should be able to
modify that pretty easily.

[PHP] a little trickery
I have a function that reads a directory and gets all the file names of images,
and I am wondering if it's possible to concatinate this function withint an
image tag. Here's an example I tried.
function pictures() {
$dir = 'images/property_pics/';
$file = array();
if(is_dir($dir)){
if($open = opendir($dir)){
while (($file = readdir($open)) !== false && $file !== ".") {
$names = substr($file, 9, 20);
echo $names;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
$rs = $pager->paginate();
if(!$rs) die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
echo "";
echo "";
echo
What I am trying to do is get the last part of an image name, because I know
the $MSL_No is always a 9 character name which matches the image name in
but in the database, the last bit of characters are not there so I'm trying to
take the last characters of the image name and concatinate them to each
image name..
Wow this is harder to explain that I thought. Here's an example
In the DB I have a row MSL_No and the contents is: 123456789
In my images folder I have an image named 123456789_R13_1.jpg
My goal: get the MSL_No out of the DB and concatenate anything after it so I
would end up with the whole image name..
I hope this all made sense. :-/
