22.4.1 Analysis

This is NOT the latest copy of this book; click here for the latest version.

Let's take a look at how that would be in pseudocode:

Read file "thumbcount.txt" to get previous number of files

  Read directory "thumbnails" to get latest number of files

  If thumbnails != thumbcount {

      Delete everything in thumbnails directory

      Recreate thumbnails

  }

  

  Get new list of thumbnails

  For each thumbnail in thumbnails directory {

      Show thumbnail

  }

  

  Update thumbnail counter

Make sense? It is really not so hard, albeit in pseudocode currently.

Want to see this stuff in print? PHP in a Nutshell takes the core topics covered here, adds in thousands of edits from the editorial team and myself, and combines them to make an unbeatable reference for PHP programmers at all levels.

My latest book has hundreds more tips on how to use PHP, Apache, and MySQL, plus Perl, Python, shell scripts, performance tuning, and more!
