Hello:
I'm implementing a photography site in PHP with a large number of photos. To top it off, mySQL is not available on the host so I'm placing photo data in a large array. To ease the data entry nightmare of entering all applicable photo data into this array, I have this question: Is there a way to use PHP to 'crawl' the server file structure and access photo info such as width and height? When I view my image files, dimension information is seen when viewing my folder in details mode, is this information available programmatically?
- Mikesure is. look into readdir() and getimagesize()
the readdir() will le tyou read a directory of a specific file format, then once you get the image you want you can view the size by getimagesize().
all this can be found in the php manualGreat!!! Thanks for the info, just to give PHP props, I just started getting into it and I am blown away by it's capabilities. JSP was always too complicated, ASP was always evil-empire coding, this is truly an impressive technology.
