Answer 1

I'm not sure whether you want to re-index the numbers for the output files. This example should preserve them:

<?php
$dir = './sourceDir';
$outputDir = './markedimage';

//get files matching pattern. maybe you could use glob() instead
$files = scandir($dir);
$files = preg_grep('~^images_\d+.png$~i', $files);

//process each file
foreach ($files as $file) {
     create_watermark( $dir . '/' . $file, $outputDir . '/' . $file);
}

Answer 2

<?php

foreach (glob("*.png") as $filename) {
    create_watermark($filename, '/watermarked_dir/' . $filename);
}

Answer 3

Untested but this should work, too:

// Iterate over all filesystem objects in /images
foreach( new DirectoryIterator('/images') as $file ) {
    // check if item is a readable file
    if( $file->isFile() && $file->isReadable() ) {
        // give debug message so we know what the script is doing
        echo "Watermarking $file \n";
        // call your function
        create_watermark(
            // argument 1 is the full path to the image
            $file->getPathname(),
            // argument 2 is the destination folder plus the filename w/out path
            '/markedimage/' . $file->getFilename()
        );
    // tell us if it is not a readable file
    } else {
        echo "Skipped $file \n";
    }
}

If there is files in the folder that are not png files, you can use the GlobIterator instead of the DirectoryIterator, but that would require PHP5.3.

//get files matching pattern. maybe you could use glob() instead
$files = scandir($dir);
$files = preg_grep('~^images_\d+.png$~i', $files);

//process each file
foreach ($files as $file) {
     create_watermark( $dir . '/' . $file, $outputDir . '/' . $file);
}

?>
