thanks in advance,

deano

let S be start and E end point
x is walls

xxxxxxxxx
xxx x xxx
x x     x
x x x E x
xS   x xx
x       x
xxxxxxxxx

replace S with 0
xxxxxxxxx
xxx x xxx
x x     x
x x x E x
x0   x xx
x       x
xxxxxxxxx

in places near 0 put 1
xxxxxxxxx
xxx x xxx
x x     x
x1x x E x
x01  x xx
x1      x
xxxxxxxxx

in places near 1 put 2
xxxxxxxxx
xxx x xxx
x x     x
x1x x E x
x012 x xx
x12     x
xxxxxxxxx

end so on until is frespaces or you replace E

xxxxxxxxx
xxx x xxx
x x4567 x
x1x3x7E x

if you get E start with it and go to any place with number is smaler then number E
go to next smaler until number 0 (point S)

reverse path

There's been a few topics about this and I once created a semi-working path finding script when someone was asking about it.

It's not for PHP, but it shows you the basics and it shouldn't be too hard to convert it to PHP.
