* Create a flat file shoutbox.
* Create a shoutbox with a database.
* Read the list of files in a directory
* List the images from that list
* Display those images as thumbnails with links to a full size image
* Read a file of content for a Template system and parse the H2 tags to create the Page title for the page.

Reading directory and listing them:

HTML

$path = "directory/path";
$narray=array();
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path please notify the administrator. Thank you.");
$i=0;
while($file = readdir($dir_handle))
{
if($file != '.' && $file != '..')
{
$narray[$i]=$file;
$i++;
}
}
//closing the directory
closedir($dir_handle);

I hope this helps...unless you weren't looking for help. Once a directory is read and stored into an array, you can execute various ways to spit back out. You can use PRINT or ECHO command to list files or pictures.

Sorting file names as in order of Weekdays was the most challenging one. Vujsa worked out the best and shortest code to arrange them as in order of weekdays rather than alphabetically. Search the forum

Good luck!

For my first PHP script I made an email form+sender, ever since then all I want to do is PHP!

For my second one, the one I am on at the moment, I am trying to make a member system (allowing the user to register, login, change password & settings etc..) i'm nearly there, just adding some design to it! look if you like: http://sam.exofire.net/register.php.

It's great when you spend ages on sorting out the errors in your script and then it finally works and you can try it out - best part of it by far, its even more of a great feeling when you make the script yourself - not just searching source forge or something

Good luck anyway...
