How Do I Show All .jpg Pictures In A Folder But I Want Only Pictures From Today

I hope I can make myself clear. I have a webcam that sends a picture at every second to my website. They all sum up in the folder like this: (IPCAM)_0_20130413145714_62.jpg [Year:

Solution 1:

Did you try

$dayInQuestion = '20130413';
glob($dirname."(IPCAM)_0_".$dayInQuestion."*.jpg"); 

with your date?

Ref: PHP manual for more options eg., http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php#110340


Solution 2:

Make a string for today and then match it against your images. So instead of pulling all images (*) we match the image name against our today string:

date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$today = date("Ymd");
$files = glob($dirname.'*'.$today.'*.jpg');

Solution 3:

As long as the photos use a consistent naming scheme you should be able to filter them by the filename using strstr. Something like this, maybe:

<?php 
$dirname = "./";
$daynum = "13";
$images = glob($dirname."*.jpg");
foreach($images as $image) {
    if (strstr($image, 'Day' + $daynum))
    {
        echo '<img src="'.$image.'" /><br />';
    }
}
?>

Solution 4:

here is my answer using the jQuery date picker:

working example can be found here

choose 13th April 2013 in the example
