Hi Jim:
Sure, I'd be happy to keep looking into this. Maybe we'll end up
getting it to work.
First off, I am doing this on a Mac. Apache comes built in to OS X (I
believe as a service), and I installed PHP from an install package.
There is a PHP ini file on the Mac, although I've never had to edit it.
I used to run a Windows 2000 server with PHP on it, and I had to edit
the PHP.ini file quite a few times.
Restarting Apache on the Mac can either be done through the command
line or System Preferences. I tend to do it from the GUI, but I think
that "apachectl restart" will restart it from the command line.
There was actually something that I was wondering about your last
version of the script. If we take a look at it...
<?php
$dir = '.';
$sAltText = "Picture";
foreach (glob("*.jpg") as $file) {
echo "file: $file<br />\n";
echo "<i>filename:</i> <b>$file</b>, <i>filetype:</i> <b>" .
filetype($file) . "</b><br />\n";
echo '<img src="' . $file . '" border="0" alt="$sAltText" /><br />' .
"\n";
}
?>
....Let's say we set the directory to $dir = '/Users/jray/Pictures'; (a
path that I can browse to just fine from the command line). Where is
the $dir variable used in the rest of the script? If a directory is
specified in the glob() function, I believe it just defaults to the
directory that the script is in. Did you have a different experience on
your end?
Thanks again for sticking with this. Sometimes is is good to have an
understanding of how a function works across different operating
systems.
