<?php
function getNextImageIndex( $path, $prefix )
{
//
// Matches files like foo_123.png
//
$pattern = '/.*_([[:digit:]]+)\.[[:alpha:]]{3}$/';
$filenames = glob( "${path}${prefix}*" );
if( $filenames )
{
sort( $filenames );
$last = array_pop( $filenames );
$nextIndex = (int)preg_replace( $pattern, '$1', $last ) + 1;
return str_pad( $nextIndex, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT );
}
return '01';
}
?>
Note that the moment you get 100 images the code breaks because _100
sorts before _99 and so you will always write over the 100th index. To
fix this you need to loop through all found files and pull the index out
and record the highest found.
Cheers,
Rob.
