i dont know if this should go in php or html..but whatever

heres the deal..

i have a form where users input their name and can upload a pic from their HD to the server. ok, good, got that part done

-----------------------

the trouble im having is displaying that stuff. I need to set it up so it looks like this

name
image

OR

nameimage

whichever is easier to do acording to the following....problems you could say
-----------------------

the user inputs their name, which is then stored into a text file. they are then given an option to upload an image. if they dont, a default one is used.

so somehow using tables and rows maybe, i need to display the images with their corrisponding names. heres the php for the output

$filename = "os/thenames.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r"); //opens file
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); //stores file content in $contents
fclose($handle); //closes file
print "$contents"; //prints content

$dirName = "os"; //opens directory
$dp = opendir($dirName);
chdir($dirName);

while ($currentFile !== false){
$currentFile = readdir($dp);
$theFiles[] = $currentFile;
}

$imageFiles = preg_grep("/jpg$/", $theFiles); //grabs jpg files

foreach ($imageFiles as $currentFile){ //prints images
print "<img src='http://www.domain.com/os/$currentFile' width='150' border='1'>";
}

if i dont do anything to the formating, it displays like this:

namenamename
imageimageimage

now does anyone have any ideas how i can change this? please ask any questions if you dont understand, im usually not very good at explaining things...but ive been working on this since 3am and its now 5 with no results

this whole script in general has taken me about 8 hours...(its the first big script ive writtin and i suck at php 9not to mention im anal about every detail)) any help....id be eternally grateful

Use a delimiter, eg pipeline to store data, then when you show the data again explode it on the pipeline and do a foreach for the array? And how do you store wich user has wich picture?

well first of all, i have no idea what you just said :confused:

and second, its basically just based on the first name in the text file prints, then the first image prints, so they just line up

(but now that i think of it, its not very efficient because the default image (for users who dont upload an image) is saved as (for example) 4.jpg and 9.jpg, etc.)

omg...all i gotta do is explode it into an array........im retarted
