Create own WordPress shortcode gallery

1. Are you going to put newlines in there between each image? or just spaces?
   I’ll put in both for this example, checking if there’s a newline.

   You would want something like this in your functions.php:

   add_shortcode('my_gallery', 'gallery_function');
   function gallery_function($atts, $code=''){
      $files=preg_split( '/s+/', $code ); // Added in from Jan's comment.
   
      foreach($files as $img){
         if($img=="")
             continue; // ensures that no empty items from the split have entered in, since that is possible with the preg_split
         //handle each filename in here.
      }
   }
   

   It’s not perfect.. if you use both spaces and newlines in your shortcode, it’ll mess things up – though that could be dealt with in more detail inside the function.

   Hope this helps.
