I am new to php. I currently only have one goal for learning php. that is to build a web site for sharing pictures with my family. so here is my questions.
Is there a way to have php look at the contents of a folder and display the images dynamically? What I mean by dynamically is i don't want to upload pics via a web interface. I want to ftp pics to a folder and have the page display the contents of the folder. I know there are details I will need to look into to actually get this to work. I just want to know if it is possible and where i should start. I hope this make sense. I have a lot of pic and the past solutions i have tried required me to upload pics individually.
