I recently picked up a maintenance system developed in PHP. The previous colleague did not store upload images in the database or directory. To list the images, the reasoning is more or less this way:
Images are stored in the directory:
imagens/noticias/noticia_11.jpg
imagens/noticias/noticia_11_1.jpg
imagens/noticias/noticia_12.jpg
Where is 11 and 12, I was able to identify what the News ID is in the database, and 11_1 is another ID 11 photo. As there is a lot of news, I would have to redo the whole system, but that is not the client then I need to bring those images to the site. How would I list the ID images? Some news has no photo, so I'm doing it like this:
Upload allows up to 10 images:
public function listarFotos($idNoticia)
{
....
for($foto = 1; $foto <= 10; $foto++)
{
$foto = 'imagens/noticias/noticia/'.$idNoticia.'_'.$foto.'.jpg';
if(file_exists($foto))
{
$visualizar .= '<img src="'.$foto.'">';
}
}
return $visualizar;
}
It's just not working.
