Default renaming files

Hi, I got an image gallery script, that requires that the images are called 0, 1, 2, 3, etc...

And I was thinking, if the photograph brings me 300 pics, it'll be REALLY boring to rename them all manually.. so I was wondering if it's possible to rename them with a script.

Something like:

PHP Code:

if ($handle opendir($path)) {
    
        
$totalPics 0;
        while (
false !== ($file readdir($handle))) {
        
            if (
$file != "." && $file != "..") {      
                do 
something here      
            
}            
        }       
        
closedir($handle);

Something like that to loop through the folder, and if I already have 0, 1, 2, 3, and the next file is called IMG214, it gets renamed to 4, and thjen 5, 6, 7, etc.. you get the point..

Would this be a good way of achieving that? And if so, how would I do it?
