[penguinboy]

okay i need help searching for an image

i'm trying to search with an "*"
but its not working

basically i'm looking for any file that ends in
$GET[DNID]_p1

so it could be

1_2_p1
2_2_p1
89_2_p1
bob_2_p1
smelly_bob_2_p1

$img1 = "*$GET[DNID]_p1";

if(file_exists("$img1"))
{print("<a href=\"javascript:popUp('$img1')\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src='$img1' width='150' height='150' border=0></a>");}

else
{print("&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:popUp('up.php?P=p1&W=def')\">Upload Image 1</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;");}

well you need to use the preg_match() to search for what you are looking for, read about it at php.net
