Here is another way to grab directory files from localhost.

$base_url = 'http://localhost/zac/uploads/';
$dir = 'uploads/';
$files = glob($dir."*.*");
usort( $files, function( $a, $b ) { return filemtime($b) - filemtime($a); } );
$i = 1;
foreach($files as $file) {
$remove_ext = substr($file, 0, strrpos($file, "."));
  if($i <= 3){
    echo '<img src="'.$base_url.$file.'" alt="'.$remove_ext.'" ></br>';
  }
 $i++;
}
