Re: Re: previous + next buttons, no DB

Ashley, How are you creating the gallery page? You must be reading the filenames in the directory and producing an <img> for each one. Can you create an array of those filenames, save it to session (or generate it each time), and iterate through them? Say the images are in a folder called /gallery/

Within that, I have an index.php that is manually coded to have thumbnails of the images displayed in a grid. Important to note: they're in a very specific (artistic) order. Each one of those thumbnails is linked to one and the same popup.php file that is simply another php file that expects an $ID passed to it. That $ID, which again is hard coded in index.html, tells popup.php which file to display. (that $ID is basically the file name of the image, so I can append it to the <img /> tag as the page loads. So you see, I have no array of anything. The index.html file gets manually edited every time something is added or removed. This is why I'd like a programmatic way of a) generating that file, so that the client can add/remove images as they see fit, and b) be able to have prev/next buttons on the popup window. Does that make sense? -- R | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
