I am trying to create a dynamic gallery in php with specific order of pictures on the page, but I can't find the function or piece of php code to do so.

Conditions:

The gallery must be dynamic, pictures will be coming from a folder via php, because when I'll add/upload more pictures in the folder they must be displayed on the page without adding manually the html tags in. ( this part is easy, problem is the condition 2 ).

The first row will have 5 pictures, the second - 4 pictures (important for the specific effect).

My code:

    $files = glob("layout/gallery/*.jpg");



      rsort($files, SORT_NATURAL);



      for ($i=0; $i < count($files); $i++) {



        for( ; $i<5; $i++){

        $one = $files[$i];

        echo '<img src="'.$one.'">' . '<br><br>';

        }



echo '<br>';



        for( ; $i<9; $i++){

        $two = $files[$i];

        echo '<img src="'.$two.'">' . '<br><br>';

        }



      }

The code works well, but it just displays 9 pictures obviously. I was unable to make it dynamic displaying 5 pictures first, 4 pictures after and stay this way in a loop till displays all pictures from that folder.

My Answer:
'path/to/folder/*.{jpg,jpeg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE);

$count = 0;
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($count % 5 == 0) {
echo '

';
}
echo '

';
$count++;
if ($count % 5 == 0) {
echo '

';
}
}

if ($count % 5 != 0) {
echo '
