ok, I can't seem to figure out how to go about this.  I have a form where pics can be uploaded with certain id's which will tell them where they are placed, in apDiv2-9.  the main id is how this is going to be identified.  I would like it also so that once there are 8 products, a new page will begin, starting with apDiv10-18(I need the 2-9 to automatically change to 10-18, so like it would be if results are greatehr than 8, then apdiv will add 8 to the number part of it).  I would like it to pull the image link from the database in the tag $image which will have to be pulled according to the apDiv#.  how would I do this?  does this make sense?  this is extremely hard to explain.  this is not the code that posts, this is the code that displays  here is code:

<?php 
include_once "connect_to_mysql_1.php";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){

$image = $row['link'];

}
?>

/* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~ 

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.

3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.

4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

so I have something that works for the first page, but I need to know how to make a second page generate automatically and how to make it so that the all the numbers still add 8 to for every page.  or is there a better way to do it?

Rather than hard coding each division I would have the display within the looping query so that for each image, the id is applied to the div and image is shown.  At the top of the page I would define the base number of the images to be shown on the page and in the query add "limit 8" to only show eight images.  A simple "Next" link could be added to show the next set.  So you'd have something like this at the top.

<?php
if (isset($_GET['basenumber']) && is_numeric($_GET['basenumber'])){
$basenumber=$_GET['basenumber'];
}
else{
$basenumber=2;
}
?>

And then for the display section, something like this.

<?php $sql = mysql_query("SELECT id, link FROM products WHERE id>='$basenumber' limit 8");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$imageid = $row['id'];	
$image2 = $row['link'];
?>
<div id="apDiv<?php echo $imageid;?>"><img src="<?php echo $image2;?>
" width="300" /></div>
<?php } ?>

See if this helps.

if (isset($_GET['basenumber']) && is_numeric($_GET['basenumber'])){
$basenumber=$_GET['basenumber'];
}
else{
$basenumber=2;
}
?>

YES!!!!! thank you.  one more question, what is the base number?  how does it work?  I know that is how I would use it for more pictures, but would it be like .......php?basenumber=1? in the url.  would it be 1, 2, 3, etc.  or does it be like 2, 8, or whatever since it says if not set it equals 2?

I need the 2-9 to automatically change to 10-18
The sample I provided was based on this quote in that you wanted to start with id 2 and show 8 images and then start with id 10 and show the next 8 images.  The variable named $basenumber represents that starting id we are using and then as we've done, we show 8 images, i.e. images 2-9 or 10-18.  The $basenumber tells us where we're starting from,  i.e. 2 or 10 etc.  I believe what you're wanting is to have links like "NEXT" for showing the next set of eight images.  The very basics is that you're making the link "?basenumber=something"  eight numbers higher than the last.  I threw this together off the top of my head and it's not tested.    Look into pagination for details on how to do more accurate paging links.

<?PHP
if (isset($_GET['basenumber']) && is_numeric($_GET['basenumber'])){
$basenumber=$_GET['basenumber'];
}
else{
$basenumber=2;
}
