I'm very much new to PHP (about a week). I'm having trouble building a basic image gallery (as seen on Web Monkey). Basically I can get the images to display but I can't get the links at the bottom of the page to continue to the next set of images.
I've played around with it and I now get the following error:
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/vhosts/halfcab.net/httpdocs/photogallery/view.php on line 60
view.php has the following code in it....I can't figure out what is causing the problems:
<head>
<title>photo gallery</title>
</head>
<script language="javascript" src="photos.js">
</script>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#00CCFF" alink="#00CCFF" vlink="#00CCFF">
<table cellpadding="2" align="center" cellspacing="2" width="80%" border="0" align="center">
<?PHP
//initialize variables
$data_file = "list.photos";
$thumbnail_dir = "thumbs/";
$num_rows = 1;
$photos_per_row = 4;
$photos = file($data_file);
$total_photos = sizeof($photos);
$photos_per_page = $num_rows * $photos_per_row;
//check to see if the start variable exists in the URL.
//If not, then the user is on the first page - set start to 0
if(!isSet($start)){
$start = 0;
}
//init i to where it needs to start in the photos array
$i = $start;
$prev_start = $start - $photos_per_page;
$next_start = $start + $photos_per_page;
for ($row=0; $row < $num_rows; $row++){
print("<tr>\n");
for ($col=0; $col < $photos_per_row; $col++){
if($i < $total_photos){
$thumbnail = $thumbnail_dir.trim($photos[$i]);
$thumb_image_size = getimagesize($thumbnail);
$image_size = getimagesize(trim($photos[$i]));
print("<td align=\"center\"><br><a href=\"javascript:photo_open('photo_display.php?photo=".trim($photos[$i])."','".$image_size[0]."','".$image_size[1]."');\"><img src=\"".$thumbnail."\" ".$thumb_image_size[3]."></a></td>\n");
} else {
print("<td></td>\n");
}
$i++;
}
print("</tr>\n");
}
//end table

<div align="center">

<?PHP
}
elseif(($start == 0) && ($next_start > $total_photos)){
//you're in a photo gallery with only one page of photos
?>
<?PHP
}
else {
//you're at the end of the photo galley
?>
<font face="arial, helvetica" size="2">
<b><font color="#FF0000">«</font>
<a href="view.php?start=<?PHP print($prev_start); ?>

</div>
</body>
Any help in getting this damn gallery functional would be appreciated 🙂
