Question

$directory = $_SESSION['base_url'] . "assets/images/*.jpg";
$images = glob($directory);

This code is not working. If I print out $directory, it matches the directory where I have put some .jpg files. $images just remains empty…

As bsdnoobz answered, this was my solution:

$directory = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))) . "\assets\images\\"; //escape
$images = glob($directory . "*.jpg");

It looks like $_SESSION['base_url'] points to your app’s URL (like http://example.com). You should use filesystem path instead of URL. Try something like this:

$directory = dirname(__FILE__) . '/assets/images/*.jpg';
