I hope I'm reading right... it seems you want to filter OUT files with the extension '_4444.jpg' the above check appears to be filtering out everything BUT these files. I think you want the following check: if( $file_names != "." && $file_names !=".." && !eregi( '_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$', $file_name) ) Cheers, Rob. -- .-----------------. | Robert Cummings | :-----------------`----------------------------. | Webdeployer - Chief PHP and Java Programmer | :----------------------------------------------: | Mail : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Phone : (613) 731-4046 x.109 | :----------------------------------------------: | Website : http://www.webmotion.com | | Fax : (613) 260-9545 | `----------------------------------------------' -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
