Re: Seperate strings in PHP WORKS

Thanks Philip, With all your help it has come together and works sweet. The only problem I have come across now, is if the car has no specs in mysql it try's to display an image called .gif. So I have made it that if no images in the dbase it must read 0, in which it returns a blank gif image called 0.gif. Apart from that it is working really well.
