hello again
I am trying to figure out how i can read the list of files in a directory
using the opendir() and readdir() functions. Normally this goes fine but
within the loop, what i am wanting to do is echo the filename if it is a
jpg file, but if its a .gif, just continue.
I have several files i wish to seperate based on the basename of the file.
i read the basename help file and know how to use it even to exclude the
..3letterextention. I am however wanting to skip if it happens to be a
..gif, is there some sort of way to i guess, do the basename function in
reverse, e.g if it comes across "xxxxxx.gif" it would skip it but not skip
over the xxx.jpg files?
that is my latest problem, it skips everything when i have a line like
this in my loop

if($file = basename('.gif',$file))
continue;
else go on with code

this not only skips over .gif files, but everything is ignored
any ideas?
