As you loop through the contents of a directory, test the filename to see if it meets your definition of image (ie .gif extension or whatever), display the image, or store it's filename in an array, or whatever, and use break to drop out of the loop currently reading that directory's contents. There have been a number of snippets of code published here recently for tracking through directories and reading the contents, so a skim of the archives may be rewarding. -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
