This here is a quick couple of functions to dynamically display files from any given directory.

It allows you to display it is a nice format with/out the files extension.

Pretty simple, but comments/suggestions/ bugs are very much welcome!!

< ?php

	// DIRECTORY DISPLAY USING GLOB AND A CLEAN PATH OUTPUT.
	// IF ALL PERIMATORS ARE EMPTY WILL SCNA DEFAULT DIRECTORY
	// '$path'  =>  PATH TO DIRECOTRY TO SCAN
	// '$ext'   =>  FILES EXT,  IF YOU WANT OT ECLUDE IT,  OR ONLY SCAN FOR ONE TYPE OF FILE
	// '$start' =>  APPEND TO START OF OUTPUT LINE EG: '
' OR '
'
	// '$end'   =>  APPEND TO END OF OUTPUT LINE EG: '
\n' OR '
\n' => DEFAULT '\n'
	function direcotryList($path = "./", $ext = NULL, $start = NULL, $end = "\n"){
		$output = "";
		$ignore = array(".","..","thumbs.db");
		foreach(glob($path ."*". $ext) as $file){
			if(is_file($file) and !in_array($file, $ignore)){
				$output .= $start . buildLink($file, $path, $ext) . $end;
			}
		}
	}

	// THIS FUNCTION WILL OUTPUT A CLEAN LINK.
	// BUILT FROM THE PREVIOUS FUNCTION.
	function buildLink($file, $path, $ext = NULL){
		$len1  = strlen($path);
		$len2  = strlen($file);
		$start = ($len1 - $len2);
		$ext   = ($start + strlen($ext));
		$file  = substr($link, $start, -$ext);
		$name  = str_replace(array("_","-"), array(" "," "), $file);
		$link = "". ucwords($name) ."";
		return $link;
	}

	// EXAMPLES OF USE
	// OUTPUT SIMPLE LINKS OF ALL FILES IN THE CURRENT DIRECTORY.
	echo(direcotryList());

	// OUTPUT ALL JPG IMAGES IN DIVS
	$output  = "
\n";
	$output .= direcotryList("images/",".jpg","
","
","\n");
	$output .= "
\n\n";
	echo($output);
?>
