It's possible?

Hello to Everybody!
First of all excuse me for my English but I write you from Italy… I hope to have must clear possible… I must do a particular gallery in flash and PHP with this features:
I have an user, my user have a folder, for example in directory C and called Gallery, now:
When the user create a new subfolder, for example named “Panoramas” with 8 images inside, enables automatic my gallery should do:
A new button in a menu flash with: a random image take by the subfolder and the name/link of the subfolder that redirect at the page where is the gallery. Also the gallery enables automatic by the subfolder with automatic creation of thumbnails and this too in flash… To complicate things… I can’t use a database but only folder in local Pc…
I’m a novice of PHP but I’ve thought to do a Function to read in the Folder and subfolder and put into this the various function of Random, thumbnail etc… and pass data to flash with a Loadvars… but… I’m in the right or my reasoning is wrong?
Thank to all for your patience and greetings from Sicily!

Welcome. Your English is fine, however I think you might want this question to be asked in the PHP forum where you could get a more specific answer.

I have not messed much with flash or PHP but your reasoning sounds good.

Are we talking about an internet gallery? If so, I think you'll need an auxiliary program running locally on the user's computer (outside the browser). Browser scripts aren't given direct access to the local computer for security reasons, but I haven't done much to test the boundaries of that, so I don't know to what extent that can be overridden voluntarily.

Thanks a lot ! Really my first post was in PHP forum but seen that I’m a beginner I’ve thought to move this here … Again thanks… I’m continuing to study and … Speriamo bene! (Let's hope all goes well!) and I’ll keep you posted my developments.

Yes, is an Internet Gallery and I haven’t calculated this problem… But what type of auxiliary program? Have you an advise? Thanks for this clarification that I didn’t esteemed…

...but... if the folder is loaded in Ftp on the web server there's nothing to worry about...so the only thing is change the path... I think... but I can wrong...

Sure, if the user is manually uploading the files, then that problem isn't there. From your first post, it sounded like you wanted the application to react directly to changes in the user's filesystem, which would have been problematic.

Yes Lux Perpetua, my first intention was this but when I read your post have thought at this problem and have changed my parameters. So thanks cause I’ vent considered this obstacle. By and good night… there now is dead night, right? By
