This does NOT alter $file. $file is not taken as a reference and altered
inside str_replace();

$file = str_replace('thumbs/', '', $file);

Why do your images live in a thumbs dir and you still want an '/images/'
link?

However, this may you:

<?php
foreach (glob("thumbs/*.jpg") as $file){
$filename = basename($file);
echo "<a href='images/$filename'><img src='$filename'
class='pad1em'></a>";
}
?>
