Dynamically including multiple files within php for image descriptions
- by Steve Jones
Working on implementing image descriptions to a php run gallery and can't seem to figure out how to call each text file for each individual image.
//total number of images
$total = 77;
//max number of thumbnails per page
$max = 9;
//what image do we want to start from?
$startcount = $_GET["start"];
//if there is not a defined starting image, we start with the first
if(empty($startcount))
{
$startcount = 0;
}
//start off the loop at 1
$loop = 1;
//start the loop
while($loop <= $max)
{
//for the picture labels
$num = $startcount + $loop;
if($num > $total)
{
$num = $num - 1;
break;
}
// Add class="last" to every third list item
if(is_int($num / 3))
{
$last = ' class="last"';
}
else
{
$last = "";
}
//the code for the image
echo '
<li'.$last.'><a href="images/portfolio/pic-'.$num.'.jpg" rel="milkbox[gall1]"><img src="images/portfolio/thumbs/pic-'.$num.'-thumb.jpg" width="256" height="138" alt="Thumbnail of image '.$num.'" /></a><div>'.$num.'</div></li>';
I see that I can call the text files by number using '.$num.' (I have 77 individual text files with a phrase in each) but how do I tell it to call the files?
