I have a document with two pages. The first one sends a folder name via form submit
<form method="post" >
<input type="hidden" name="portfolio" value="directory">
<input type="submit" value="author">
</form>
the second one receives this folder name and open the files with glob function
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$directoryName = $_POST['portfolio'];
echo json_encode (glob($directoryName."/".'*.{jpg,mp4}', GLOB_BRACE));
?>
...finally images appear on the first page again via Ajax
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').submit(function(e) {
var data = $(this).serialize();
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "PAGE2.php",
data: data,
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
var html = "";
$.each(response, function(i, val) {
var fileExtension = val.substring(val.lastIndexOf('.'));
if (fileExtension == ".jpg") {
html += '<img src="'+val+'" height=250></img>';
}
else if (fileExtension == ".mp4") {
html += '<video width="320" height="240" src="'+val+'" type="video/mp4"controls autoplay loop></video>';
}
});
$("#display").html(html);
}
});
});
});
up to here no href tags... I need to know how to display images like modal gallery with colorbox plugin. I've tried this without success
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').submit(function(e) {
var data = $(this).serialize();
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "PAGE2.php",
data: data,
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
var html = "";
$.each(response, function(i, val) {
var fileExtension = val.substring(val.lastIndexOf('.'));
if (fileExtension == ".jpg") {
html += '<img src="'+val+'" height=250></img>';
}
else if (fileExtension == ".mp4") {
html += '<video width="320" height="240" src="'+val+'" type="video/mp4"controls autoplay loop></video>';
}
});
$("#display").html(html);
$("#link").colorbox({ inline:true, href: "#display"});
}
});
});
});
<body>
...
<div id="display" style="display:none;"></div>
<a id="link" style="display:none"></a>
