    Images for ebay count files in directory

    I have looked up and down for a solution to this problem without any
    luck.
    I sell stuff on ebay. ebay will allow me to place javascript in my
    listings which I use to show a series of thumbnails of my item. In my
    script I have a variable that defines the number of pictures of that
    item.
    What I would like to do is have the script determine the number of
    pictures in the directory. I host the pictures on my own server and I
    can turn on directory browsing, if that helps. I could also run a
    server sided script to determine that number but I don't know how to
    call that script from the ebay page. I'm pretty much a hack and a
    beginner at programming so I need this to be a pretty basic solution.
    Thanks for any help.

      Instead, maybe the script could add an iframe to the page, then have the
      page shown in the iframe generate the thumbnails server-side based on a
      directory name that you provide.

      Say you create an iframe and set its src to
      http://www.example.com/makethumbnail...temdir=somedir. The PHP file
      harvests the query string, scans the somedir directory and generates a HTML
      page with thumbnails for the images in that directory.

          Thanks for the info. I'll have to double check but I don't think ebay
          allows the iframe tag.
