I'm trying to do multiple foreach loops inside each other and stop at 12, this is what I have so far which isn't working. It shows exactly how I want it to. However, each file is supposed to loop through but it's showing image 1 over and over again for the first image in each directory.
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$dirname = "dir1";
$dirnameTwo = "dir2";
$dirnameThree = "dir3";
$cam1 = scandir($dirname, 1);
$cam2 = scandir($dirnameTwo, 1);
$cam3 = scandir($dirnameThree, 1);
?>

The loops keep on going past 12 and only shows the 1st file in each directory over and over again without getting each file in each directory.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do - you haven't given any example input and output, and your code is written in a very unclear style - but there's a number of things that look wrong to me.
Firstly, your innermost loop is not related to the other three in any way:
foreach ($files as $filename)
You define $files once, buried in the middle of this ugly line:
array_multisort(array_map('filectime', ($files = glob("*.*", GLOB_BRACE))), SORT_DESC, $files);
So the innermost loop is going to look at the same list of files over and over again.
This also means that this line is redundant:
if (file_exists($filename))
Unless the file was deleted in the microseconds since PHP ran the glob command, this will always be true, because $files is populated with files that exist.
Secondly, your nested loops will end up going through not just every item from each directory, but every possible combination. Consider the following miniature example:
$cam1 = ['a', 'b'];
$cam2 = ['c', 'd'];
$cam3 = ['e', 'f'];
$files = ['g', 'h'];
foreach ($cam1 as $cams1) {
foreach ($cam2 as $cams2) {
foreach ($cam3 as $cams3) {
foreach ($files as $filename) {
echo "$cams1, $cams2, $cams3, $filename
";
}
}
}
}
Outputs:
a, c, e, g
a, c, e, h
a, c, f, g
a, c, f, h
a, d, e, g
a, d, e, h
a, d, f, g
a, d, f, h
b, c, e, g
b, c, e, h
b, c, f, g
b, c, f, h
b, d, e, g
b, d, e, h
b, d, f, g
b, d, f, h
It's hard to tell if that's what you intended.
Thirdly, a break statement only breaks out of one loop, unless you give it an argument. So this line will break out of the foreach($files as $filename) loop:
if ($i == 13) break;
To break out of all the loops, you need to name how many to break out of:
if ($i == 13) break 4;
