Brilliant thanks for the reply. Now that I can link successfully to the view_album_front.php page. How can I get this page to show the thumbnails of the album?

I have a script that shows 1 thumbnail for every album that has been created. (figure 1.0) I would like to be able to click on the image and be taken to that albums thumbnails. I hope the code underneath is correct. echo '<a href="view_album_front.php?album_id"><img src="admin/uploads/thumbs/'.$row['album_id'].'/'.$dir_arr[$random_key].'" /></a>'; This page of course will use another script similar to the one (figure 1.0) Using the code of test1.php that I have attached. How can I manipulate it to show the thumbnails of a given album id. ?? test1.php

Resolved.

I have a backend which works fine. It creates a title and a description for an album. Which then you can add a photo to an album. Each photo is stored in a directory! not in the database. You have a unique album_id for each album. e.g. 1 2 3 4 5.... You then have a folder called thumbs which again will have 1,2,3,4,5 for the thumbnail pictures for that album. The Problem: I have a script which shows the images of a certain directory but I don't want this. I've been working on a script which use a while loop. I would like to loop through the directory of 'thumbs'. for each album_id I want to get a random thumbnail appearing for that album. I have attached the script to the post. At the moment I am getting an error: Notice: Undefined index: album_id in C:\xampp\htdocs\dashboard\test1.php on line 4 The other attached file called test.php works fine and that shows me thumbnails of the album id folder 8. I've been working on this for days, I can't find anything online to help me sort this, I followed some tutorials, I asked some friends and this is where I've got to... I'd really appreciate any help Thank you - This is my first post so I apologize in advance test1.php test1.php test.php
