Using JavaScript, is there a way to just print to the screen the names of the images in a folder?

Let's say that I have 11 images in a folder, I would like to scan through each one of those images
and write the name of the path and the name of the image. Does that make sense?

What I am wanting to do is for each image in folder (/images) I want JavaScript to write something like

code:
document.write(imageSource + imageName)



where ImageName is the exact name of the image that I have called it and resides in the ImageSource Folder.

I think I am confusing myself

This probably has to be done server-side, if so, please move it.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Moving it on over
Unfortunately I don't have an answer, as this is not an area I have delved into yet...

I could probably put together a php solution for you if that would help.

Just let me know.

Butcher: Yep, if it's server-side I would much prefer PHP. If it's not too much trouble, that would be great!

Thanks for the offer.

ok, here a quick, dirty, plug in whatever you want solution, untested, but it shouldn't have more than a few obvious (as in missing ; or so) bugs in it ;-)

code:
<?php



$dh = opendir(dirname(__FILE__) . '/mydirectory') // would be mydirectory below the directory this file resides in...



while ($filename = readdir($dh))

{

	if ($filename != '.' and $filename != '..')

	{

		print("document.write(\"http://www.mydomain.com/mydirectory/{$filename}\");"); //this would be the line you'd adjust for your needs... uh. filename will probably not include mydirectory. make sure to escape all but the enclosing " with a backslash.

	}

}

closedir($dh);



?>



holler, if you need more help,

Here is something I had come up with a little while back. I added an extra switch $asURL. This is if you want to display the file name as a link or not.


[edit]cleaned the code up...=)[/edit]

Azazeal, thanks. That was a nice script. I didn't have to change much to get it working.

Thanks again.

Is there any way TP's solution can be modified to find or sort the files alphabetically?

Yup...
I rewrote some of the code (hope you don't mind Azazeal)
Now it reads the files into an array, sorts that alphabetically, then loops the
array and prints links or non-links, just as before.

code:
<?php

//-- Directory listing - lists the contents of a directory

//-- Azazeal

//-- Created 2.19.03

//-- Modified 3.28.03

//-- Mod for sorting files alphabetically //DmS 1.4.03



//-- User Configured Data

$webaddress = 'http://www.<yourdomain>.com/files/';    //-- Full URL to files folder

$current_dir  = 'files';//-- Directory to read

$page_title   = '.::Directory Listing::.';    //-- Title of HTML document



//-- Display file as a link

//-- Change the value to '1' if you want the file to be displayed as a link.

//-- Change the value to '0' if you want the file to NOT be displayed as a link.

$asURL = '1';

//-- End User Configured Data

//-- You shouldn't have to touch anything below this line. Unless you want to format the HTML.

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<?php

//-- Read the directory and display the results.



$dir = opendir($current_dir);

$fileAr = array();



  while($file =  (readdir($dir))){

    if(is_file("$current_dir/$file")){

        $fileAr[] = $file;

        }

    }

    sort($fileAr);

    reset($fileAr);

    for($i=0;$i<count($fileAr);$i++){

        if($asURL=='1'){

            print("<a href=\"".$webaddress.$current_dir."/".$fileAr[$i]."\">".$webaddress.$fileAr[$i]."</a><br>");

        }

        if($asURL=='0'){

            print($webaddress.$fileAr[$i]."<br>");

        }

    }



  closedir($dir);

?>

</td>

<EDIT>
Darn, I just saw that you asked for TP's solution to be sorted... Doh!
Never mind, you should be able to look at this to see what I did and use that in TP's code, holler otherwise.

thanks for that though Suho. I was just going to incorporate both scripts. That way when I upload another image it will just scan the folder and then add it to the array for the sig rotation.

I am still working on that one
