how to read files from the directory without get_filesnames() - El Forum - 04-19-2009

I want to make a cool my own photogallery
I want to upload to directory some image files and read directory with files to the database.
But I have 2 problems:
1) get_filenames function reads files from the subdirectory folder (e.g. thumbs) and I get more than I want to get lines to my db.
2) I don't know how to add character $img_suffix to the place before type of the file.
I want to read SomeImgFile.jpg and than automaticaly add to the database place of the thumbfile SomeImageFile_cr.jpg

here is my code with my ideas.Can you help me to solve this problems or give me your ideas how to update my database with list of files.

Code:
function FillUpDatabaseWithPhoto($directory)

    {

        $pathtothumb = '/sm/';

        $imgsuffix = '_cr';

        $this->load->helper('file');

        $this->load->database('photostock');        

        $filesarray=get_filenames("public/images/$directory",FALSE); 

        echo $filesarray." <br>\n" ;

        foreach ($filesarray as $imgfile) {

            $array = array('originalpath' => "$directory/$imgfile", 'thumbpath' => "$directory.$pathtothumb.$imgfile.$imgsuffix", 'gid' => "$directory");

            $this->db->set($array);

            $this->db->insert('photostock'); 

            /*$this->gallery_model->additem($data); */

            echo "$imgfile \n <br>"; 

            }

    }

here what i should get in my database. I have 12 files and thumb directory inside with 12 thumb files

Code:
050sq.jpg      050sq_cr.jpg

but I get in my database such thing. I get 24 rows with stuff like this:

Code:
050sq.jpg      050sq.jpg_cr        // added "_cr" to the end, but I need "_cr.jpg"

050sq_cr.jpg      050sq_cr.jpg_cr // excess line

Why you need to use the suffix? Would putting the files in a directory named "cr" not suffice?

i have to put files to a separate dir and I have to rename it by adding suffix

Here's how I would do it, although I can think of at least 10 more ways of doing it.

Code:
&lt;?php

function append_suffix($filename, $suffix="")

{

    $filename = explode('.', $filename);

    $filename[count($filename)-2] = $filename[count($filename)-2] . $suffix;

    return implode('.', $filename);

}

$suffix = '_cr';

$filename = "somefile.jpg";

echo append_suffix($filename, $suffix); # echoes somefile_cr.jpg
