I hope I'm not being a pest. I've played with the return and echo so much today I've finally realized I'm going in circles. But I can say I understand it more than ever. Now whats on my mind is breaking out of this circle and doing more with this code. What I am trying to do now is instead of having ALL the images display, I want to try and group them by their name. If I were using SQL I'd simply use a where clause and be done with it, but I'm not sure what would acomplish the same thing or similiar to a where clause in php.

I dont' see how a where clause in sql provides you with a result that organizes the images by name.

All the images I have that go together have the same name. 12345_1.jpg 12345_2.jpg 12345_3.jpg So by using a where clause in a MySQL select statement and some php, I'd be able to grab the result set with the same name. -- David M. True dat. So why don't you just change the "prefix" value coming into your function? Or - run it once for all prefixes, build a 2nd array of the unique ones, sort them, display them, let the user pick one, then re-run it for that prefix alone.
