Show all images in a directory using PHP

by

This is a sweet script. It displays all the files in a particular directory. In this case it’s a folder full of user uploads, so it makes keeping an eye on things a breeze.

[sourcecode language=”php”]‘;
}
?>[/sourcecode]

You can of course easily modify it to show only JPGs or other image types (if you’re pulling content from a directory of mixed file types) or to edit the echo so it returns images that link to user profiles etc.

But this is it’s most basic form.

Making work, work

by

When I first started working for myself I needed a confidence boost, and sitting in my office asking people if they needed help with anything wasn’t giving me it.

I had a tonne of offers for agency work, but I’m in this game to create my own business, not just support someone else’s. I’m happy to be a gun for hire, but I want to at least be protecting my own town.

A friend recommended PeoplePerHour, and at first I was somewhat sceptical because of other similar freelance sites I’d used (that all seemed very driven to support the buyer, making the seller feel like a turd begging for work) but got my first paying job on it within several hours. Then another. Then a third.

That was the confidence I needed. Next thing I knew I was taking on client’s from elsewhere, and could demonstrate my skills.

I came back though. I wanted to start 2013 with some fresh work, so you’ll find me selling my wares there again. It’s a creative space for people to meet and find common ground to work towards. ANd of course, there’s some really talented developers on there too.

If I do say so myself.

Why not hire me?

Off to London again This time it’s only…

by

Off to London again! This time it’s only slightly business (well, my old London property is up for auction, so it’s VERY business, but not terribly web related.)

I’m getting very good at laying everything out on these train journeys though, got my laptop out, mobile tethering on the go, and the tray at the seat next to me works just wonderfully as a mousepad.
