Automatically load images from a folder

A popular request for Magic Slideshow is to automatically fetch images from a folder.

You can do this in a variety of ways, depending upon the applications available on your web server. Many of our customers use PHP, so we have prepared advice to fetch images using PHP.

1. Download this file: magicslideshow.php
2. Upload that file to your website.
3. Add the following code to your HTML page/template where you want your slideshow to appear.
   

   <php
   include('/path/to/magicslideshow.php');
   MagicSlideshow('/path/to/image/folder', 'http://example.com/path/to/image/folder');
   ?>
   

   
   
4. Change the code to the full path of the folder where you uploaded the magicslideshow.php file.

For Smarty templates, you should use '{php}' and '{/php}' instead of <php and ?>.
