How to display latest image

[keithleboutillier]

Hi

I am receiving the Meteor sat weather images and want to automatically put them on my website.

I am looking for help and advice on the best way to do this.
each image as a different file name  ending .jpg at the moment i hand code the name into the right place on the web page so the image is displayed but i want to do this automatically.
Is there a way of getting the image displayed by using date / time and a wildcard to load the most recent image

Hope this make sense

Regards

I think i have worked this out maybe not the best code ever written but it works for me
This PHP code will look in the specified directory and display the latest images
 
<?php
 $images = glob('../weather/meteor/'.'*.{jpg}', GLOB_BRACE); //formats to look for
   
         $num_of_files = 3; //number of images to display

    foreach($images as $image)
    {
         $num_of_files--;

         if($num_of_files > -1) //this made me laugh when I wrote it
           echo "<b>".$image."</b><br>Created on ".date('D, d M y H:i:s', filemtime($image)) ."<br><img src="."'".$image."'style='width: 100%'"."><br><br>" ; //display images
         else
           break;
    }
?>
