limiting

Hi all, is there any other way to limit this code to only displaying 1 image other than using return. When I use return, I can't get the other images to display in lightbox, but when I use echo, all 5 of the images will correctly display in lightbox, but they are also displaying on the page. $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM properties"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $matches = glob('images/property_pics/212006966/' .$prefix. '*'); foreach($matches as $match){ echo "<a href=$match rel='lightbox[$matches]' /><img src = $match></a>"; I'm not even sure if this is possible, but thought I'd ask before I scrapped the idea. I've been at this code since last thursday trying to learn as much as I can about it and I just keep going in circles and I'm starting to feel like glob() is what is limiting me. I've tried various code blocks with things like where(), str_repeat, basename, scandir, sort etc with no luck. :-/ -- David M.
