I have a folder named "inspections" which has a number of subfolders named "location 1", "location 2", "location 3", etc. each with around 10-20 .png images in it.
What I am trying to do, is to read the directories of the "inspections" folder, and then read all the image files in each of the folders before returning them as a gallery on my index.php site. The problem is that I get no error message but the script doesnt return anything. I believe the problem is with generating the $files variable for each subfolder as I deploy the same script for reading folder content on another site.
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction?
<?php
$dir = './inspections/';
if ($handle = opendir($dir))
{
$blacklist = array('.', '..', 'default', 'default.php', 'desc.txt');
while (false !== ($folder = readdir($handle)))
{
if (!in_array($folder, $blacklist))
{
if (file_exists($dir . $folder . '/desc.txt'))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if (!in_array($file, $blacklist))
{
$chain = file_get_contents($dir . $folder . '/chain.txt');
$website = file_get_contents($dir . $folder . '/website.txt');
$location = file_get_contents($dir . $folder . '/location.txt');
$desc = file_get_contents($dir . $folder . '/desc.txt', NULL, NULL, 0, 250) . '...';
echo "
<!-- Post -->
<div class=\"post\">
<div class=\"user-block\">
<img class=\"img-circle img-bordered-sm\" src=\"../dist/img/logo/logo_".$chain."\" alt=\"\">
<span class=\"username\">
<a href=\"".$website."\" target=\"_blank\">".$folder."</a>
</span>
<span class=\"description\"><i class=\"fa fa-map-pin\"></i> ".$location." - Posted on ". $date . "</span>
</div>
<!-- /.user-block -->
<p>".$desc."</p>
<div class=\"lightBoxGallery\">
<a href=\"".$dir . $folder . "/".$file."\" title=\"".$file."\" data-gallery=\"\"><img src=\"".$dir . $folder . "/".$file."\" style=\"height:100px; width:100px;\"></a>
</div>
";
}
}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
EDIT: following @JazZ suggestion, I have adjusted the code and it works well now, however, assuming that one does not want to display the resized pictures itself, but rather thumbnails stored in a subfolder (eg. ./location1/thumbs/), how would I go about this?
<?php
$dir = './inspections/';
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
$blacklist = array('.', '..', 'default', 'default.php', 'desc.txt');
while (false !== ($folder = readdir($handle))) {
if (!in_array($folder, $blacklist)) {
echo "
<!-- Post -->
<div class=\"post\">
<div class=\"user-block\">
<img class=\"img-circle img-bordered-sm\" src=\"../dist/img/logo/gallery_icon_".$chain.".jpg\" alt=\"\">
<span class=\"username\">
<a href=\"".$website."\" target=\"_blank\">".$hotel_name."</a>".$status."
</span>
<span class=\"description\"><i class=\"fa fa-map-pin\"></i> ".$location." - Posted on ".date('jS F, Y - H:m', strtotime($posted_on))."</span>
</div>
<!-- /.user-block -->
<p>".$desc."</p>
<div class=\"lightBoxGallery\">
";
foreach (glob($dir . $folder . "/*.jpg") as $filename) {
echo "
<a href=\"".$filename."\" title=\"\" data-gallery=\"\"><img src=\"".$filename."\" style=\"height:100px; width:100px;\"></a>";
}
echo "</div>
</div>
<!-- /. POST -->
";
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
I think your issue comes from here :
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) // it reads again the same directory as it did in the first while loop
Try to replace it with
if ($sub_handle = opendir($dir . $folder)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($sub_handle))) {
...
}
closedir($sub_handle);
}
Also, in your case, I would use php glob() function
See a working example for your case :
$dir = './inspections/';
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
$blacklist = array('.', '..', 'default', 'default.php', 'desc.txt');
while (false !== ($folder = readdir($handle))) {
if (!in_array($folder, $blacklist)) {
foreach (glob($dir . $folder . "/*.png") as $filename) {
echo "$filename was found !";
echo "\r\n";
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
Output :
./inspections/location_4/img_1.png was found ! ./inspections/location_4/img_2.png was found ! ./inspections/location_4/img_3.png was found ! ./inspections/location_4/img_4.png was found ! ./inspections/location_4/img_5.png was found ! ./inspections/location_4/img_6.png was found ! ./inspections/location_3/img_1.png was found ! ./inspections/location_3/img_2.png was found ! ./inspections/location_3/img_3.png was found ! ./inspections/location_3/img_4.png was found ! ./inspections/location_3/img_5.png was found ! ./inspections/location_3/img_6.png was found ! ./inspections/location_2/img_1.png was found ! ./inspections/location_2/img_2.png was found ! ./inspections/location_2/img_3.png was found ! ./inspections/location_2/img_4.png was found ! ./inspections/location_2/img_5.png was found ! ./inspections/location_2/img_6.png was found ! ./inspections/location_1/img_1.png was found ! ./inspections/location_1/img_2.png was found ! ./inspections/location_1/img_3.png was found ! ./inspections/location_1/img_4.png was found ! ./inspections/location_1/img_5.png was found ! ./inspections/location_1/img_6.png was found !
EDIT
To loop in the /inspections/location1/thumbs/ directories, this would work :
foreach (glob($dir . $folder . "/thumbs/*.png") as $filename) {
echo "$filename was found !";
echo "\r\n";
}
RE-EDIT
To glob multiple folders with the glob() function, your code should look like :
foreach (glob($dir.$folder."{/thumbs/*.png,/*.png}", GLOB_BRACE) as $filename) {
echo "$filename was found !";
echo "\r\n";
}
