I¹m trying to write a Photo Gallery in PHP. Everything else is pretty

worked out like thumbnails, indexes, titles & all the one thing I¹m
stuck at is the Next & Previous links for the Photos on the main Photo
Page.
It¹s a simple program where you drop images in a folder and glob()
picks up
the thumbnails displays them on a page which are automatically
linked to
the Full Size Images. This is the code:
<?
$ID = $_GET['ID'];
The following code is completely untested. I typed it straight into the
email client.
You might have to track down a few bugs. It should give you a good
start though
# Set your page display limit
$display_limit = 20;
# Collect a list of files
$filelist = glob("$ID/thumbnails/*.jpg");
New I would miss something,
As Nathan points out, the order of things might change.
To correct that, we should probably sort the list of files first
asort($filelist);
# get the current page number, set the default to 1
$pageNum = 1;
if ( !empty($_GET['pageNum']) ) {
$pageNum = (int)$_GET['pageNum'];
}
# count the total number of files to list
$total_files = count($filelist);
# calculate the total number of pages to be displayed
$total_pages = ceil($total_files/$display_limit);
# Initialize the link holder array
$links = array();
# Since I don't know the name of your script, I assume that it should
link to itself
# So I will use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] to get the scripts true name
# Create Previous tag is needed
if ( $pageNum > 1 ) {
$links[] = "<a
href='{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?ID={$_GET['ID']}&pageNum=".($pageNum-1)."'>Previous</a>";
}
# Create Next tag is needed
if ( $pageNum < $total_pages ) {
$links[] = "<a
href='{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?ID={$_GET['ID']}&pageNum=".($pageNum+1)."'>Next</a>";
}
# Display the link if they exist
echo '[ '.join(' | ', $links).' ]';
And then I forgot to address this part of it.
# replace this
foreach ($filelist as $key=>$value) {
# with this
for( $i=(($display_limit*$pageNum)-1), $i<(min(($display_limit*$pageNum)-1,$total_files)), $i++) {
$key = $i;
$value = $filelist[$i];
$title = rtrim(basename($value),'.jpg');
$newtitle = preg_replace('/_/', ' ', $title);
?>
<A HREF="photo.php?photo=<?php echo basename($value); ?>&title=<?php echo
$newtitle; ?>&ID=<?php echo $_GET['ID']; ?>&KEY=<?php echo $key; ?>"
TARGET="photoFrame">
<IMG SRC="<?php echo $ID; ?>/thumbnails/<?php echo basename($value);
?>"></A>
<?php echo $newtitle; ?>
<? }
?>
I know that $key holds the sequence of images that are being picked up by
glob() - I¹m just trying to figure out a way to use this $key to generate
the Next & Previous link. The problem is everything is passed on to a
separate page (photo.php) ... What I¹m thinking is determining which
Photo
File would be Next or Previous to the one being selected, and passing
that
along to the (photo.php) page. I¹m just not able to figure out how to
pick
out the next & previous filename and place it in the Query String.
Any suggestions?
