RE: [PHP] ### Image Display Problem ###

I would build an array of directories first. Then iterate through your array passing each directory to this: function Print_First_Image($sPath) { if(!$sPath) { $sPath = "."; } $dir_handle = opendir($sPath); //Read Directory while($file = readdir($dir_handle) && !($out)) { //Is it a picture file? if((preg_match('/jpg/i',$file)) || (preg_match('/png/i',$file)) || (preg_match('/gif/i',$file)) || (preg_match('/jpeg/i',$file))) { return ("<img src='$sPath/$file'>"); } } } Use it something like this for ($count =0;$count < sizeof ($dirarray) ; $count ++ ) { $outputstring = Print_First_Image ($dirarray[$count]); print $outputstring; } If you need help in making an array of directories... I'll write one, but this should give you an idea of how to go about it.

I can iterate through series of directories, one by one, but once "in" a directory, I'm at a loss as to how to read just the first image in the directory, display it, and move on to the next dir...? Thanks to Lawrence Sheed for an earlier but much too compex (for me to decipher and use) large snippet of code.
