But I must wonder, if doing this on a database would be faster. Would it be? I mean the example adobe shows I'm only using 19 pictures, but if I ever reach say 1000 pictures, would the php file be too big? Should I just make a database now or it doesn't matter? Also, the code above, which I took from a phpfreak member, has the pagination not working. Anyone care to do a diagnosis? Thanks!
