im allowing users to upload multiple images of themselves onto my site....the system works by naming the image dynamically..using the users id number, and then adding a number taking from a recordcount of total images uploaded by the user, to differentiate the images..

for example if dan(id=2) had already uploaded 5 images....the next image he uploaded would be named 2_5.gif, and then then next one would be 2_6.gif.

the issue now is, that i cant output the images dynamically, i have to refer to each image individually..is there anyway round this?

cheers

Store the path, including the filename in your db instead of the image. Then select the path with a query and put it into your img tag.

Hi there,
This is what I have managed to do so far but need help from here.

I have stored pictures for a property in a table(different from the properties table).
I display my properties and when clicked for more pictures a pop up window opens and this is what that pop up does:
It displays the first image based on the developmentID passed in the previous URL and this is where I am stuck:
When I click next it does not go to the next picture and I do not know how to do it. I thought of a loop but cannot figure out how to do it....any help would be appreciated!!
