Ok Made Minor Change and now all hell has broke loose. Tried to make adjustment to eliminate the buttons using the pic as the button... Using This Code: <?php session_start(); $dir = '/Test/images'; //<<<---- Path to your images, if(!isset($_SESSION['images'])) { //If the image array IS NOT saved in sessions if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { //Open the image directory. while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { //while there are files to read. if($file != "." && $file != "..") { //if the file isn't current dir, or above dir. $parts = explode('.',$file); //split the file on a period. $c = count($parts); //count the parts array. $ext = $parts[$c-1]; //ext will reside as the last value of the array. if(strtolower($ext) == 'png' || strtolower($ext) == 'jpg' || strtolower($ext) == 'gif') { //if the ext is image type. $images[] = $file; //save it to the image array. } } } closedir($handle); //close the directory. } $_SESSION['images'] = $images; //write the image array to a session variable. } //this closes the if block, the above code will only run when the page is first open. //Below is the displaying of the images, if you add images to the directory, you MUST close the browser window for //this script to pick them up. if(!isset($_SESSION['nextimage'])) { //if next image is NOT in the session array. $next = $_SESSION['images'][1]; //next image will be the second image in the image array. $current = $_SESSION['images'][0]; //current image will be the first image in the array. } else { //if next image is in the session array. if(isset($_GET['next'])) { //and next is in the url bar. $current = $_SESSION['nextimage']; //current image is changed to the one held in Sessions nextimage. } elseif(isset($_GET['prev'])) { //or if prev is in the url bar, $current = $_SESSION['previousimage']; //we go to the previousimage in our sessions array. } } $keys = array_keys($_SESSION['images'],$current); //find our array key of the current pic. $n = $keys[0]; //the key will reside in the first place of the keys array. $next = (array_key_exists($n+1,$_SESSION['images'])) ? $_SESSION['images'][$n+1] : $_SESSION['images'][0]; //if the next array key exists in the images array, set the next image, if it don't the first image is next. $previous = (array_key_exists($n-1,$_SESSION['images'])) ? $_SESSION['images'][$n-1] : end($_SESSION['images']); //if the previous key exists in the images array, set the previous image to it, if it don't set previous to the last value of the image array. $_SESSION['nextimage'] = $next; //write the next to the session array. $_SESSION['previousimage'] = $previous; //write the previous to the session array. $photo=$dir."/".$current; echo "<a href=\"?next=1\"><img src=\"$photo\" alt=\"images\" /></a>"; // print the image element to the page. ?> Displaying: With this in the folder. Any Thoughts?

its all too common to name things the same.. i do it all the time.

nice. i was just having problems associating the array to the session. or vis versa. i was trying to avoid using direction keys by using each image as the button. im certain i can adjust this myself. Many many thanks.

I suppose it could be done by db reference after adding all the pics to sql...

Is there a way to use php to incorporate a folder of pictures as a clickable slideshow. For instance.... using a pic as a button... to go to the next pic.... except in quantities of 100... without having to manually write the code for each page...? In HTML: <a href="index3.html"><img src="2.jpg" /></a> <a href="index4.html"><img src="3.jpg" /></a> <a href="index5.html"><img src="4.jpg" /></a> <a href="index6.html"><img src="5.jpg" /></a> <a href="index7.html"><img src="6.jpg" /></a> <a href="index8.html"><img src="7.jpg" /></a> <a href="index9.html"><img src="8.jpg" /></a> Something like using a basic rotating script activated on mouse click? How do i convert this into a button without making 100 pages? <img src="/path/to/images/ rotate.php?img=my_static_image.jpg" /> I have come up with the rotate.php file as following: <?php $folder = '/oprah/is/sofuckingfat.com/images/'; $extList = array(); $extList['gif'] = 'image/gif'; $extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg'; $extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg'; $extList['png'] = 'image/png'; /* I believe that most of the following can be omitted once it hits the timer / countdown script */ $img = null; if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') { $folder = $folder.'/'; } if (isset($_GET['img'])) { $imageInfo = pathinfo($_GET['img']); if ( isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] ) && file_exists( $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] ) ) { $img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename']; } } else { $fileList = array(); $handle = opendir($folder); while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) { $file_info = pathinfo($file); if ( isset( $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] ) ) { $fileList[] = $file; } } closedir($handle); if (count($fileList) > 0) { $imageNumber = time() % count($fileList); $img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber]; } } if ($img!=null) { $imageInfo = pathinfo($img); $contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[ $imageInfo['extension'] ]; header ($contentType); readfile($img); } else { if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) { header ("Content-type: image/png"); $im = @imagecreate (100, 100) or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream"); $background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255); $text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0); imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color); imagepng ($im); imagedestroy($im); } } ?> Would be more or less converting the rotate.php script into the base for the link structure. I assume the timing element in this script would be omitted with a replacement or nothing. I can't figure out what will be the quickest way to go about making the href follow the folder contents. I just want a basic click on the pic to go to the next one until it ends. Thoughts anyone?
