php gallery

I'm making a simple image gallery for a friend and I think I'm going to make it dynamic so I don't have to hardcode each image.

I have an example here.
http://waldbauer.us/valtemp/nature.html

Basically, each page should look for a specific sub directory of gallery for it's page, then for each sub directory within that, it would be a section with a thumb.jpg and images labeled "01 - name _thumb.jpg" "01 - name _normal.jpg" and "01 - name _large.jpg" etc.
Each image would be placed like the example above and I know what html formatting I need.

My question is, being rusty with php, how do I get an array of these images from a directory?
Also, is it easier to have php resize the images (thumbnails and mid-size preview from a large one) or would this be slower than having all sizes already made?

So if someone could give me a quick example of reading all the images in directories based on the current page, that would be great.

Thanks.

Last few years I am using this peace of code for grabing images from some folder.

Code:
<?php
$dir = "images/somefolder/"; // folder path
$openDir  = opendir($dir);
    while (false !== ($fileNames = readdir($openDir))) {
   $check = $dir . "/" . $fileNames;
   $size = @getimagesize($check); // this check mime of file
   if($fileNames == "." || $fileNames == ".." || strpos($size[mime], "image") === FALSE) {
                continue; // exclude everything wha is not image
           }  else {
                $imagesAll[] = $fileNames; // create an array of images
           }       
    }
   print_r($imagesAll);
?>


If is your images good optimized (max 100Kb) then you can resize directly without using thumbs. You can see how this is work on http://www.bodo.garage100.net/galerija.php?dir=austrija (this is gallery what I am start to create for one customer).

Ok, thanks I think I can build off of that for what I want.

One quick question, how would I modify this to first find all sub directories and their names?

i.e.
Code:

gallery/
    spring/
        01.jpg
        02.jpg
        thumb.jpg
    fall/
        01.jpg
        02.jpg
        03.jpg
        04.jpg
        thumb.jpg


So I can keep the images organized. I'll have to see if readdir() finds directories and how to determine if what it reads is a directory.

This will print out all directories from your images folder and exclude other files.

Code:
$mainDir = "images";
$openMainDir = opendir($mainDir);
while (false !== ($dirs = readdir($openMainDir))) {
    if(is_file($dirs) === false && $dirs != "." && $dirs != "..") {
       $allDirs[] = $dirs;
    }
}
print_r($allDirs);

}

How about this?

Code:

      $dir = 'Gallery/' . PAGE . '/'; // folder path
      $dir_handle = opendir($dir);
      $categories = array(); // hold all sub directories which are categories
      while (false !== ($subdir = readdir($dir_handle)))
      {
         if(is_dir($subdir)  && $subdir != "." && $subdir != "..")
         {
            $cat = array();
            $cat['title'] = $subdir;
            $cat['thumb'] = $dir . '/' . $subdir . '/thumb.jpg';
            $cat['images'] = array();
            
            // read the subdir
            while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle)))
            {
               if(is_file($file)  && $file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "thumb.jpg")
               {
                  // ?
               }
            }
            $categories[] = $cat;
         }
      }


Now how would I go about reading each sub directory for images when I want
$categories[]['images'][]['thumb']
$categories[]['images'][]['normal']
$categories[]['images'][]['large']

with files like

01_somename_thumb.jpg
01_somename_preview.jpg
01_somename_large.jpg

I'm think I would need to read the number (i.e. 01) and use that subscript in my array and determine if it has the "_thumb" or "_large" name.
Should I use like explode() with '_'?

Could you please print_r($categories); and paste here how I can see structure of array, and of course, you can explode jpg name.

Nevermind I finally had some time to play around with it and got it working.

Thanks a lot for your help getting me started.
