I've made a script that takes a dir, and scnas through that dir for image files, and then echo's out these images on a jquery-gallery.
However, some of these dir's contain special chars like (æ,ø,å) - and it does not seem to work, even though the dir-variable is set, with the correct chars.
Does File_exist handle special chars?
This code work, but it's not great, cause I have to replace the æ,ø and å's with "_". And likewise do this on all my folders.
$invalid_chars = array('æ','ø','å');
//Find the dir with the photos
$dir = 'img/products/'.str_replace($invalid_chars,'_', $category)."/".str_replace($invalid_chars,'_',$model);
//accepted filetypes
$file_display = array('jpg','jpeg','png');
if(file_exists($dir)==false){
echo "</br><center>A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.</center></br></br><br /><br /></br>";
}
else
{
$dir_contents = scandir($dir);
foreach($dir_contents as $file){
$file_type = explode('.',$file);
$file_type = strtolower(end($file_type));
if($file!=='.' && $file!=='..' && in_array($file_type, $file_display) == true) {
echo "<img src='".$dir."/".$file."'/>";
}
}
}
