How can PHP developers efficiently manage and display a large number of images in a dynamic web application without using MySQL or other traditional databases?

To efficiently manage and display a large number of images in a dynamic web application without using MySQL or other traditional databases, PHP developers can store the images in a directory on the server and use PHP to dynamically generate the image URLs. By organizing the images in a structured manner within the directory and generating the URLs dynamically, developers can easily manage and display the images without the need for a database. 

<?php
// Directory where images are stored
$imageDirectory = 'images/';

// Get list of image files in the directory
$images = glob($imageDirectory . '*.{jpg,jpeg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE);

// Display images
foreach ($images as $image) {
    echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="Image">';
}
?>
