hey guys,
I am using a thumbnail script and it gets the images from a directory, the images are found in ../../clients/$dir but i dont want to show the directory structure, in the images name so how can i specify the directory with out making the structure part of the name?
Code: Select all
$dir = $_GET['login'];
$pricing = $_GET['pricing'];
$NBFile=0;
$dir ="../../clients/$dir";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
//if (substr($file, strlen($file)-3, 3)=="jpg" ) {
$FileArray[] = $dir."/".$file;
$NBFile=$NBFile+1;
//}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
any ideas?
Cheers
Drew

If you're using a database to reference the image and directory then you could simply specify an id.

no, what it is, its a thumbnail generator, looking at a directory on my server then showing those images, when i click on the images, it opens up to a biugger image,
everything works, its just that the image name becomes ../../clients/trial/image001.jpg and im hoping to get just image001.jpg
the images are in a folder called trial, ($login)
but the script is obviously in a totally different folder

If you are able to edit the thumbnail generator source code you shuld be able to edit the "name" assigned to the image.
So basically you should be able to extract just the images name from the entire path.
Do you have access to the thumbnail generator source code?

Ok, I see your conundrum now.
What you could do is setup a "handler" in dis.php.
What I mean by "handler" is a few lines of code that appends the file name only i.e. image1.gif to a preset path.
Here's an example:
Code: Select all
<a href="dis.php?image=<?php echo $Pic_Name1; ?>&pricing=<?php echo $pricing; ?>" target="order"><img src="<?php echo $Pic_Name1; ?>" width="100" border="0" align="top"></a>
From the link above you will send $Pic_Name1 (which is just the file name - not the path) in the url.
Next, in dis.php retrieve the image:
Code: Select all
//SET THE CORRECT PATH FOR THE IMAGE DIRECTORY
$dir="/your/image/path/";
if(isset($_REQUEST['image']) && !empty($_REQUEST['image']))
{
//CRTEATE THE FULL PATH
$fullPath=$dir . $_REQUEST['image'];
//DISPLAY THE IMAGE
echo'<img src=" ' . $fullPath . '" />';
}
You're oviously going to want to structure this a bit better but it gives you some idea hopefully.

Ok, i added this to the dis.php page however it still shows the file structure in the name, i cant work out how to use your code, becuase the script below self generated the thumbnails by checking the folder and then displaying how ever many images are in there
Code: Select all
$dir = $_GET['login'];
$pricing = $_GET['pricing'];
$NBFile=0;
$dir ="../../clients/$dir";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
//if (substr($file, strlen($file)-3, 3)=="jpg" ) {
$FileArray[] = $dir."/".$file;
$NBFile=$NBFile+1;
//}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);

If the code you displayed self generates then I dont think there is much you can do with the file name/path.

SOLVED IT
Code: Select all
$dir = $_GET['login'];
$pricing = $_GET['pricing'];
$NBFile=0;
$dir ="../../clients/$dir";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
[b]$name = $file;[/b]
$FileArray[] = $dir."/".$file;
$NBFile=$NBFile+1;
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
Then
Code: Select all
<a href="dis.php?image=<?php echo $Pic_Name1; ?>&pricing=<?php echo $pricing; [b]?>&name=<?php echo $name; ?>[/b]" target="order"><img src="<?php echo $Pic_Name1; ?>" width="100" border="0" align="top"></a>

oh nightmare
didnt work, it only keeps the first image name, and justt uses that, it doesnt actually read all the image names?
is there a way to do this with arrays?
