PHP Code:

// list of images to display
    var A_ITEMS = [<?php
        $s_path = 'img/';
        $a_types = array ('jpg', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'png');
        $a_images = array ();
        $h_dir = opendir($s_path);
        while ($s_file = readdir($h_dir)) {
            $s_type = strtolower(substr(strrchr($s_file, '.'), 1));
            if (in_array($s_type, $a_types))
                array_push($a_images, "\n\t\t'$s_path$s_file'");
        }
        closedir($h_dir);
        sort($a_images);
        echo join(',', $a_images);
?>
