Creating image pages

[fbenevento]

I'm trying to create a script that will read a directory and then generate the pictures (in the form of a thumbnail inside a table). i have done that.. i can not think of how to handle a directory that has a ton of pics in it. i want it to generate the first page and something like

NextPage Home Previous

that would be nice...

i would appreciate any help..

Are you using sessions? If so, read the pictures names into an array the first time the user comes to the site.

mypictures[] = "pict.jpg";
mypictures[] = "pict2.jpg";

Pass mypicture through all the pages. Decide how many pictures you want per page. Divide the number of elements in the array --- using count() --- by the number of pictures you want per page. Then you can figure out how many pages you have. Print out the number of pages dynamically with links....

<a href='page.php?page=1'>1</a>
<a href='page.php?page=2'>2</a>

If page=2, and you know you have 6 pictures per page then you know to start at image number 7 (mypictures[7]) and then show the next 6 pictures.
