So, I've been racking my brain for days now, and am now seeking help for the final bit of this page. I have a self indexing PHP files that embeds images into a web page, that is updated automatically very regularly so now i need to limit the amount of items per page.
I'm seriously lost on this one as i can add pages, but it ruins the rest of the code. And I have no idea why. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Another option would be to limit the amount of files it scans for inside the directory. Would there be a simple way of telling it to only scan for the 50 most recent files in the said directory?
// Main dir and sorting functions
$dir = "ss/";
chdir($dir);
array_multisort(array_map('filemtime', ($files = glob('*.jpg', GLOB_BRACE))), SORT_DESC, $files);
foreach($files as $filename)
{
// Encode the URL
$unencodedUrl = $filename;
$encodedUrl = rawurlencode($unencodedUrl);
// Display on screen
echo '<li><a href="ss/' . $encodedUrl . '"><img class="img" src="ss/' . $encodedUrl . '" alt="Image" /><span>' . $filename . '</span>'; I'm seriously lost on this one as i can add pages, but it ruins the rest of the code. And I have no idea why. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a bit confused what you mean by this part. What do you mean by "add pages?"
It sounds like you're just trying to display the X most recent images, right? If so, you should be using a for loop rather than a foreach loop.
You've already got the images sorted, so just loop from 0 to whatever number you want to display and use that to index the sorted array.
Obviously you'll want to check to make sure that $files is at least as long as the number you want to display.
pseudocode:
$display = 50;
if(count($files) < $display){
$display = count($files);
}
for($i = 0; $i < $display; $i++){
$unencodedUrl = $files[$i];
$encodedUrl = rawurlencode($unencodedUrl);
echo ....
}

Lol I wasn't even close. But thank you, again.
And yeah, reading that back even I can't understand what i meant.
But what you provided worked a treat, so thank you for that.
Feel free to close!
