如何在php中找到并列出所有视频文件和缩略图？

Question

I have a linux server filled with mp4/m4v videos (400+ and growing) and would like to create a listing of all the videos. Somewhat similar to HBO Go.

An example of what I'm trying to accomplish is scanning the current directory and listing all the video mp4/m4v files with a direct link embedded into an image.

Example of the files:

Dir1
   CurrentDirectoryLister.php
   Halloween (2018).mv4
   Halloween (2018).png
   Pacific Rim.mp4
   Pacific Rim.png
Dir2
   CurrentDirectoryLister.php
   NewMovie Here.mp4
   NewMovie Here.png

So, the user will click a link to Dir1 and which will open CurrentDirectoryLister.php and be provided with the images "Pacific Rim.png" and "Halloween (2018).png". When they click an image it takes them to the movie page "Dir1/Pacific Rim.mp4/"

Answer 1

To do this I set up two separate arrays.

One containing only photos and one only videos.

All of my files have matching names so $movies[1] and $images[1] (Pacific Rim.mp4 && Pacific Rim.png).

Further explained by another user HERE

<?php
$movies = glob('./*.{mp4,m4v}', GLOB_BRACE);
$images = glob('./*.{jpeg,jpg,png}', GLOB_BRACE);
$subtitles = glob('./*.{srt}', GLOB_BRACE); #To be used later.

foreach ($images as $image) {
    $lookup[pathinfo($image, PATHINFO_FILENAME)] = $image;
}

foreach ($movies as $movie) {
    $image = $lookup[pathinfo($movie, PATHINFO_FILENAME)] ?? 'default.jpg';
    echo '<a href="' . $movie . '">
            <img src="' . $image . '" style="width:300px;height:350px;border:0;">
        </a>';
}
?>
