Creating a search box to search photos on website's server

the title hasn't explained @ well, let me clarify:

know basic html, , i'm wondering how this.

want able have search box on site allow visitors search photos hosted on site's server.

so, totally random example: if you've uploaded photo of cat photos folder on website's server entitled 'cat.jpg' want people visit site able type cat search box can find , view photo.

don't think it's super hard , don't think require database either you're doing searching 1 folder.

appreciated.

 

html can't itself; you'll need script runs on server can in photos directory , return results formatted html.

popular scripting language php. functions find useful include scandir() directory listing, foreach() iterate through each entry (file name) in directory listing, , stripos() determine if search string matches part of filename.
