try doing a var_dump after the loop, but other than that i cant see anything wrong with it at this point, maybe someone more experienced would be able to help you out more than I.

Try this:

CODE

<?php
$folder= 'C:/wamp\www/mytemp/uploads/';
$files = @opendir($folder) or die("Unable to open $folder");

while ($file = readdir($files )) {

echo '<img src ="uploads/'.$file].'"/><br />';

}
?>

On a Mac, PHP won't understand ".", "..", and ".DS_Store", so I use:
CODE
<?php
$folder= "images";
$files = scandir($folder);
var_dump($files);
echo "<br>";
for($i=3;$i<sizeof($files); $i++){
echo '<img src = "'.$folder."/".$files[$i].'" />';
echo "<br>"."<br>";
}
?>

Hi thanks for the help but its still showing the whole content per amount of images, apparently i have to look into output buffering now which sounds like its over my head but il look into to it and let you know if it helps resolve my problem
