At one time I wanted to show holiday party photos but didn’t want to build a full blown gallery site with plugins and what-not, so I hacked this together in about an hour:
<?php
// filename: index.php
// purpose: a quick and dirty gallery for photos in a folder
//parts inspired from http://www.webinfopedia.com/php-list-images-in-a-directory.html
//Path to folder which contains images
$dirname = dirname("..");
//Use glob function to get the files
//Note that we have used " * " inside this function. If you want to get only JPEG or PNG use
//below line and commnent $images variable currently in use
$images = glob($dirname."/*.JPG");
//debug
//var_dump($images);
//echo dirname("..");
echo "<!DOCTYPE html>\n";
echo "<html>\n<head>\n";
echo "<TITLE>Gallery Title in Browser Window goes here</TITLE>\n";
echo "<center><h3>Title of Folder goes here</h3></center>\n";
echo "</head>\n";
echo "\n\n\n";
echo "<body>\n";
if ( !empty ( $images ) ) {
//Display image using foreach loop
foreach($images as $image){
//print the image to browser with anchor tag (Use if you want really )
echo '<a href="'.$image.'" target="_blank"><img src="'.$image.'" style="width:100%; height:auto;" /></a>' . "\n";
}
}else
{
echo "No JPEG pictures found";
}
echo "\n</body>\n</html>\n";
?>
You’ll also need this in your .htacess file:
