retrieve filenames from directory

Greetings, all. I have a directory with images, of which I need to place the file names in a column in a MySQL db. There are two files for every image:
image.jpg and image_t.jpg (the thumbnail for image.jpg)

What I would like to do is strip the file extension (as well as the '_t.jpg') from the filenames, and just enter the 'root' filename (image). This way I have only one db entry per image pair.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!!
Dale.

Hi

First you get the filenames in the directory:
$myDir = opendir("path/to/images/");

then you do something like:
$lastImage = "";

while($entry = readdir($myDir)) {
if($entry != "." && $entry != "..") {
$entry = ereg_replace("_t.jpg", "", $entry);
$entry = ereg_replace(".jpg", "", $entry);
if($entry != $lastImage) {
<store $entry in db>
}
$lastImage = $entry;
}
}

NOTICE: this is not bug-checked, tested or validated in any way. It is furthermore not the most elegant way to solve the problem, but it will get the job done

When you store the imagename you should also make a check, that it doesn't exist allready. Perhaps even make the name unique.

Hope this will help you.
