//path to the directory to search/scan
        $directory = "";
         //echo "$directory"
        //get all files in a directory. If any specific extension needed just have to put the .extension
        //$local = glob($directory . "*"); 
        $local = glob("" . $directory . "{*.jpg,*.gif,*.png}", GLOB_BRACE);
        //print each file name
        echo "
";

        foreach($local as $item)
        {
        echo '
'.$item.'
';
        }

        echo "
";
