remote ftp gallery

I have pictures that are on a ftp server and I want to know if there is a way for my webserver to connect to my ftp server and display the pictures in a table. I would like to just have a gallery that pulled from a certain directory on the ftp server.

I don't want to copy the pictures to my webserver because of space issue. Is there a script that will achieve this?

you should be able to make a seperate file that gets the image, here s an example if you aready have the file names

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

//$safe_file_names could be an array of all the paths to the images on the ftp server, use it for security reasons



if (in_array($_GET['img'], $safe_file_names)){

$img = file_get_contents('ftp://pass:username@ftpserver.com'.$_GET['img']);

echo $img;

} else {

echo 'INVALID IMAGE NAME';

}

?>

it would be faster to have all the image names in a database, but if you want to read the names then use ftp_nlist(); and the other ftp functions to do that

yes, there is a way to do this..check my sample out:
http://terminal.x5788.net/ig.php

it pulls everything out from
http://terminal.x5788.net/img/
and displays it in a table $r cells across
(i must admit though, it looks sorta crappy cuz it took me about 10 seconds to do, so dont criticize pleaz!:P)

if this is sorta what you want, just say so, and ill give you my source code

Yes that is basically what im looking for. I would like something with thumbnails. I dont need anything fancy. Just a way to check screenshots over the web from a gaming server.

ok, heres the code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

/* the following variables must be set: */

$host = 'host_name';

$user = 'user_name';

$password = 'password';

$idir = '/path/to/imgs';

$ipath = '/home/user'; /* include path */

$wa = 'http://www.mywebsite.com';

$r = 5; /* number of images per row */



/* end of config */



if (isset($_GET['src']))

{

include $_GET['src'];

exit;

}

else

{

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>

Image Gallery

</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Image Gallery</h1>

<?



$c_id = ftp_connect($host, 21) or die("Couldn't connect to $host");



if (@ftp_login($c_id, $user, $password)) 

{

echo "Connected as $user@$host\n";

} 

else 

{

echo "Couldn't connect as $user\n";

exit;

}

ftp_chdir($c_id, $idir);

?>

<table style="border: 1px solid #000000;">

<tr>

<?

$list = ftp_nlist($c_id, ftp_pwd($c_id));

for ($c = 1; $c <= count($list); $c++)

{

$i = $c - 1;

if (!preg_match('/^\.+$/', $list[$i]))

{ 

if ($i % $r == 2)

{

echo '

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="border: 1px solid #000000;">

<a href="' . $wa . '/' . $idir . '"><img border="0" src="' . $wa . '/ig.php?src=' . $ipath . ftp_pwd($c_id) . '/' . $list[$i] . '" alt="' . $list[$i] . '" /></a>

</td>

';

}

else

{

echo '

<td style="border: 1px solid #000000;">

<a href="' . $wa . '/' . $idir . '"><img border="0" src="' . $wa . '/ig.php?src=' . $ipath . ftp_pwd($c_id) . '/' . $list[$i] . '" alt="' . $list[$i] . '" /></a>

</td>

';

}

}

}

?>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

<?

}

?>

this codes sorta messy, but i think ill be able to clean it up sometime if more people requested it. you just need to set the 7 variables at the top and then youre set.

tell me if you find any bugs in it pleaz

it is pulling the files but isn't displaying images. The ftp server is windows. Would the ipath be c:/directory/path?

Also one more thing. I have .htm files in the same directory with the images and I won't be able to move them. How could I tell it to just display *.png files?

Thanks alot!

yeah...you would be much better of using a database or simply some sort of array due to speed problems....maybe i can find some way to do this for you..
