Makes extensive use of the Jquery Slider ui and Datatables plugin. Feeding off my first Mysql database, that in turn is populated by an xml file. All ive got to do now is tie the rest of the site into the new pricing database.

I highly recomend the Pikachoose gallery simple for its amazing simplicity and ease of use. Easy to style and adapt to my own needs, including a inbuilt carousel feature utilizing slider.js. I’ll post a link to an example lightbox gallery soon.

List images from a folder automatically via PHP

Heres a little code snippet I used to list all the images in a folder.

// the directory, where your images are stored
$imgdir = '/images/'; 

// list of filetypes you
$allowed_types = array('png','jpg','jpeg','gif'); want to show

$dimg = opendir($imgdir);
while($imgfile = readdir($dimg))
{
 if(in_array(strtolower(substr($imgfile,-3)),$allowed_types))
 {
  $a_img[] = $imgfile;
  sort($a_img);
  reset ($a_img);
 }
}
// total image number
$totimg = count($a_img); 

for($x=0; $x < $totimg; $x++)
{
 $size = getimagesize($imgdir.'/'.$a_img[$x]);

 // do whatever
 $halfwidth = ceil($size[0]/2);
 $halfheight = ceil($size[1]/2);
 echo '


';
}
