Scanning directory and creating thumbnails from already exisiting images

What I'm trying to accomplish with this code is, first it scans a directory after images, then it takes one image and create a thumbnail out of it if its bigger than 170x170. The problem I'm having is when I try to load the new file it doesn't work quite as expected. 

<?php
foreach (glob('img/*.png') as $f) {
    $list[filemtime($f) . '-' . $f] = $f;
}   

$keys = array_keys($list);      
sort($keys);

$picOne = $list[array_pop($keys)];
$picTwo = $list[array_pop($keys)];
$picThree = $list[array_pop($keys)];
$picFour = $list[array_pop($keys)];

list($width, $height) = getimagesize($picOne);
if ($width > 170 && $height > 170) {
    $thumb = imagecreatetruecolor(170, 170);
    $source = imagecreatefrompng($picOne);
    imagecopyresized($thumb, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, 170, 170, $width, $height);
    $path = $picOne."_170x170.png";
    imagepng($thumb, $path);
}

echo '<a href="'.$picOne.'" /><img width=170 height=170 src="'.$picOne.'" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;'; 
echo '<a href="'.$picTwo.'" /><img width=170 height=170 src="'.$picTwo.'" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;'; 
echo '<a href="'.$picThree.'" /><img width=170 height=170 src="'.$picThree.'" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';  
echo '<a href="'.$picFour.'" /><img width=170 height=170 src="'.$picFour.'" /></a>';   

?>

This code should make a new file, right?

$path = $picOne."_170x170.png";
imagepng($thumb, $path)

That part works fine sure but $picOne gets _170x170.png added to it and I don't understand why. What I think I've done is just to create a new file with the $picOne name + _170x170.png but instead $picOne gets it as well.

Can anyone help me fix this code or explain what I need to do to get it to work?

Here's what I'm trying to do basically: 1. Scan a directory. 2. Take an image and create a thumbnail from it. 3. Output the thumbnail.

The reason you are having issue is that you are not creating new file but overwriting existing file. To create new file every time you try using this loop : 

    $path =  $picOne."_170x170.png";

    $x = 0 ;
    while (file_exists($path))
    {
        $path = $picOne ."-" . $x . ."_170x170.png"; 
        $x++;
    }

This would always give you a new file name all the time and you can put it in a simple function.
