I need to create a search that will search partial files names of images and display the images. Ba

I need to create a search that will search partial files names of images and
display the images. Basically, I have a folder on the internet that has
security camera images dumped into it with a file name like this:

MDcameraname20050109104846001N38B.jpg
MDcameranameYYYYMMDDHHMMSS001N38B

So what I would like to create is a search that will allow a user to input
the year, month, day, and hour, and have the website display the images from
that hour. Could someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
Vinny

Take the sample code from http://php.net/readdir and then the sample code
from http://php.net/preg_match and you're pretty much done...

thanks, that is perfect. Now I have a follow up question if you don't mind.
How can I take $filename and break it apart to display the time/date the
picture was taken in a nice readable format?

here is my code:

$x = 0;
$count = 0;
$matches = glob("*$y$m$d$h*.JPG");
if ( is_array ( $matches ) )
{
foreach ( $matches as $filename)
{
if ($x < 4)
{
echo "";
echo " echo $filename;
echo "');>";
echo "";
$count = $count+1;
echo "
";
echo $filename;
echo "";
$x = $x + 1;
} else {
echo "";
$x = 0;
}
}
}

echo "

";
echo $count . " images found";
?>

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

Filename looks like this: MDcameraname20050108124537001A.JPG
I would like the output to look like this: 01/08/2005 12:45:37

preg_match('/MDcameraname([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9 ]{2})([0-9]{2})/',
$filename, $m);

$m[1] - year
$m[2] - month
..... etc.
