Hi,

I suspect this topic has been discussed on these boards before and I am just ignorant about the function names I should be searching the forum with....

Basically I'm in the process of building a photo gallery site.

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO DO MY HOMEWORK. HOWEVER I AM STUCK.

Within the gallery page include people will browse to a particular photographer and then the photos they have submitted in a given month.

When people browse to a given month, I don't want them to have to scroll up and down the photos submitted. I want each photo to sit on the gallery page as if it is framed by it. They can only view the next photo by clicking on the anchor for the next 'page'

My problem is I've never used php to loop through x amount of photos and print them on individual pages bfore.

What I mean is I want to be able to create anchors like:
1 2 3..
and if necessary
< first < previous ...22 23 24... next > last >

Can anyone guide me to a thread or tutorial where this issue has been discussed. Or could any educate me about the php script used in such circumstance?

Thanks

Read up on loops and arrays:

You could use the GET method to pass an index of the image, so you would have something like this:
http://www.website.c...age.php?index=4

I don't know how you would get the image, because I do not know how they are stored, are you using a MySQL DB?

Hi programmable,

paths to the the images will be stored in a MySQL database

I'll be using a select query to get the monthly photos and like CTphpnwb suggested a loop to generate the pages....

I've got a bit of work to do before I get to that stage but at least more of the necessaries are ticking over in my mind somewhere now!
