Using strpos to find the extension can lead to bugs if you have a filename similar to "myimage.2010.png" because that will return "2010" instead of "png".

It's better to use this:

$parts = explode(".", $file);
$ext = strtolower($parts[count($parts) - 1]);

if(in_array($ext, $pic_types))
{
    array_push($index, $file);
}

Would the php glob function be of better use here?

`glob ('/path/to/directory/' . '*.{jpg,jpeg,gif, png}', GLOB_BRACE)'
