Take a look at ' Loop code for each file in a directory' http://stackoverflow.com/a/6155564/1089331 and see if it may help your request. — William Isted, Feb 28 '13 at 00:07
Apart from any other issues, I expect the carousel needs each image in its own `
Also, please expand on 'it's not working as i want'. Is the code returning any looped image html? And if so, is $num2 being set as expected from the PHP? — William Isted, Feb 28 '13 at 00:16

There are four main things to check:

Is your $directory path correct relative to your current working directory in PHP? You can determine your current working directory by doing a temporary echo getcwd();. It needs to return the parent directory of your "data" folder for your code to work.
Is the data folder accessible from the current page on the web? e.g. if you manually remove the page from the URL (say, index.php) and add data/uploads/topslider/someimage.png where someimage.png is an image you know exists in your topslider folder, does the image load properly in the browser? If not, you'll need to update the way you build the src attribute in your img tag(s).
You're only adding one jcarousel-item for all your images, which doesn't seem right to me. I'm guessing you're expected to add a list item for each image.

You don't need to call glob twice just to ascertain how many files you have to work with. Just do a foreach statement once:

echo '<ul class="jcarousel-list">';
foreach(glob($directory . '*') as $filename) {
    echo '<li class="jcarousel-item"><img src="'.$filename.'" width="50" height="50" alt="" /></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
