You need some way of determining the end limit. Most people use a database for this, and can simply use mysql_num_rows().

If you have the the images named correctly, you could also check to see if they exist. For instance, if you name your pictures 2003_08_10_1.jpg, 2003_08_10_2.jpg, etc then you can do a check on each page to see if the next one in the series exists.
