Directory Control Panel (Images Mainly)

Hi,

Is there anyway that I could display the images in a directory (for example uploads) as a thumbnail and then a few links to delete it or rename each image?

Sort of like a Image Back End Control Panel, I suppose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well the management of the uploads is easy:

See the file system functions, and use them to list and rename, delete etc the files. The file functions are a good place to start with, but it would be worth you adding mysql support for management of the files eventually.

Here's a bit of code for the image part. It could be cleaned up a bit better, but it's enough to get your started and it works (currently only with jpeg)

PHP Code:


		
			

<?php

$szImagesDir = 'images/';
$szThumbsDir = 'images/thumbs/';

foreach (glob($szImagesDir . '*.{jpg,JPG}', GLOB_BRACE) as $szImagePath)
{
    $aImagePathParts = explode('/', $szImagePath);
    $szFileName = end($aImagePathParts);

    if (!file_exists($szThumbsDir . $szFileName))
    {
        $pImageHandle = imagecreatefromjpeg($szImagePath);

        if (!$pImageHandle)
        {
            continue;
        }

        $aSize = getimagesize($szImagePath);
        
        $pNewImageHandle = imagecreatetruecolor(64, 64);
        
        imagecopyresampled($pNewImageHandle, $pImageHandle, 0, 0, 0, 0, 64, 64, $aSize[0], $aSize[1]);
        
        imagejpeg($pNewImageHandle, $szThumbsDir . $szFileName);        
    }
    
    echo '<img src="' . $szThumbsDir . $szFileName . '" />';
}

?>

Simply change the two directory paths at the top to point to your images and thumb folders. The thumbs folder is used to store thumbnails of each image - you'll need to create this.

Hope it helps.

Wow thank you; I completely missed your posts! :O
