thanks, that is perfect. Now I have a follow up question if you don't mind.
How can I take $filename and break it apart to display the time/date the
picture was taken in a nice readable format?

here is my code:

<?php
$x = 0;
$count = 0;
$matches = glob("*$y$m$d$h*.JPG");
if ( is_array ( $matches ) )
 {
 foreach ( $matches as $filename)
   {
   if ($x < 4)
    {
    echo "<td>";
    echo "<a href=javascript:pop('";
    echo $filename;
    echo "');>";
    echo "<img src='";
    echo $filename;
    echo "' border=0 width=240 height=180></a>";
    $count = $count+1;
    echo "<br>";
    echo $filename;
    echo "</td>";
    $x = $x + 1;
    } else {
    echo "</tr><tr>";
    $x = 0;
    }
   }
 }

echo "<br><br>";
echo $count . " images found";
?>
