Hi,
I have a block that displays a random image from a folder and i resently changed my webhosting and the new webhost creates some folder called _vti_cnf inside my image folder and my code doesnt check for images it just displays a random file , folder or image in the folder its checks... so I get an error in my block if it picks the _vti_cnf folder.. I need to set my code up to check if its an image before it picks it .. ive deleted this vti_cnf folder 10 times and it just keeps on recreating itself ...I just don't know how to set up the code to check for an image LOL
thanks for any help you can give me

Code:

if (eregi("block-RandomPic.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
    Header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}
$kataloog = 'MAPS-PICS/BF/ACTION';
$i = 0;
$kat = opendir ($kataloog);
	while ($f = readdir($kat))
	{	if ($f != '.' && $f != '..') 
		{$nimed[$i++] = $f;}
	}
closedir ($kat);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$nimi = $kataloog.'/'.$nimed[rand(0,sizeof($nimed)-1)];
$suurus = GetImageSize ($nimi);


$content = "<table align=center width=\"142\" height=\"150\" Font=\"Verdana\" fontsize=\"0\">";

this is my first attempt at making an if then statement in php
is this the proper way to make one??

Code:

if ($nimi == 'MAPS-PICS/BF/ACTION/_vti_cnf')
{$content .= "
<center><a href=\"MAPS-PICS/BF/GCS0074.jpg\"target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"MAPS-PICS/BF/GCS0074.jpg\" width=\"130\" height=\"125\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click to Enlarge\">
</center></a>";}
else
{$content .= "
<center><a href=\"$nimi\"target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$nimi\" width=\"130\" height=\"125\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click to Enlarge\">
</center></a>";}

ah i see youre having the same problem..dont ya hate those little red x's.. :x its got nothing to do with frontpage.. the block is fixed to pick up random images inside of a folder called random.. well like he said theres a folder the server automatically creates inside each folder called vti_cnf or something like that..and at random times it pics up that folder thinking its an image and hence thats when we get the red x.. im sure its a simple fix either a code or something to do in our servers..i havent figured it out either :cry: any help would be greatly appreciated.. Im using PHPNuke 6.0 Random image block. http://hsk.uzipp.com

Code:

if (eregi("block-RandomPic.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
    Header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}



# Directory goes here relative to script
$folder = 'images/random';
# Directory should contain only images, else you can add some more filtering
$i = 0;
$in = opendir ($folder);
	while ($x = readdir($in))
	{	if ($x != '.' && $x != '..') # Directory should contain only images, else you can add some more filtering
		{$imaged[$i++] = $x;}
	}
closedir ($in);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$image = $folder.'/'.$imaged[rand(0,sizeof($imaged)-1)];

$content .= "<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"6\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" bgcolor=\"#fffff0\" bordercolor=\"#111111\" width=\"138\" height=\"100\">";
$content .= "<tr><td align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://hsk.uzipp.com/optiplex.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$image\" alt=\"Click Image\">";
$content .= "<align=\"left\"><a href=\"http://www.lvoncall.com\" title=\"Random Pic ver 2.0\" target=\"_blank\">.</a></tr></td></table>";

You guys may want to contact your webhost about that file. I have seen that on other webhosts as well and always wondered what it was.
Tell them it is conflicting with one of your php scripts. They may be able to turn it off.

I did contact my provider and that folder is created when you up load an image.. He didn't turn it off so I added an if else statement that finally got rid of the red x that appeared occasionally

Code:

$content .= "<tr><td>";
if ($nimi == 'MAPS-PICS/RF/ACTION/_vti_cnf')
{$content .= "
<center><a href=\"MAPS-PICS/RF/ACTION/0616_screen076.jpg\"target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"MAPS-PICS/RF/ACTION/0616_screen076.jpg\" width=\"125\" height=\"115\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click to Enlarge\">
</center></a>";}
else
{$content .= "
<center><a href=\"$nimi\"target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$nimi\" width=\"125\" height=\"115\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click to Enlarge\">
</center></a>";}
