JSON does the trick for you (www.json.org), and PHP's glob() gets rid
of your readdir() overhead (you'll need PHP 5.2 or later for this):
$path = "/path/to/images/";
$images = glob($path . "{*.jpg,*.gif,*.png}", GLOB_BRACE);
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($images); $i++)
$images[$i] = array($images[$i], $path . $images[$i]);
$js_output = "var tinyMCEImageList = " . json_encode($images) . ";";
I'd also save myself the overhead of repeating the same path $i times
in my array, and instead just create a JS object:
$path = "/path/to/images/";
$js_output = "var tinyMCEImageList = " . json_encode(array("path" =>
$path, "images" => glob($path . "{*.jpg,*.gif,*.png}", GLOB_BRACE))) .
";";
You can append the path client side after he page is parsed.
Apart from that, echo-ing javascript in your php code is never really
a good idea when it comes to louse coupling of your web applications.
If that's no consideration for you - party on.
Again, this is not a PHP-DB question, you should subscribe to the
PHP-GENERAL (or-whatever-it's-called) list.
