Hi,

I'm using php 4.4.4.  Given a directory $dir, and a prefix, $prefix,
how would I get all files matching the expression

$dir/$prefix%d.jpg

where %d is any unsigned integer?

Thanks, - Dave

Don't know what you mean. Is it a string value or is it in the include part
where you include files. Assuming you wan't to build a strin use the
following.

I think the function sprintf solves your problem easally.

Seehttp://se2.php.net/manual/sv/function.sprintf.php

$aStringValue = sprintf("%s/%s%d\.jpg", $dir,$prefix, $number );
//  Don't knowif youca write a dot (.) after %d and get output as a dot.
//  Hence the %d\.. YOu might have to use \ before /. Test and see.

To build a sqeuence of HTML links to images do the following.

$text = sprintf("<table>\n");
$text .= sprintf("<tr><td><h1>Links to my images</h1></td></tr>\n");
for ($i=0;$i<$nbImages;$i++)
{
    $text .= sprintf("<tr><td><a href=\"%s/%s%d\.jpg\">Image
%3d</a></td></tr>\n", $dif, $prefix, $i );}

$text .= sprintf("</td></tr></table>\n");

//  Text holds the HTML list of links to the images.
//  Note %3d tells sprintf to writes $i as 001, 002, 003...

What I mean is let's say I have these files in a directory

/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/myfiles/file1.jpg
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/myfiles/file2.jpg
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/myfiles/file3.jpg
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/myfiles/file4.jpg

The directory would be "/ur/local/apache2/htdocs/myfiles", the prefix
would be "file" and I'm looking for some way in PHP to return
"file1.jpg", "file2.jpg", "file3.jpg", and "file4.jpg", preferrably in
some kind of array.

Thanks, - Dave
