Wow thanx. You know a program is good if it shows pictures of naked women on the cover. Amen to that.  : I'll check it out, though, I would really perfer if I could determin  the order of which the images appear and then they would loop back to the first image. Know what I mean? Anyone know how to do this?

[MrColossal]

do you mean like an image gallery only the images are only changed on a refresh?

like this only without the next and previous links?

[Raven_Gray]

Yes, and yes that is a must. They have to only change on refresh. So if you took all those frames at made each one its own picture all the same size and then loaded them up in a .php? picture gallery thing, each time you refreashed the next picture would appear in the sequence. Is that possible to do? I know absolutly nothing about .php

It's rather easy to learn php if you know something about c/c++ and html, I believe. Check the lowest link in my signature and see what I've learned to do.

You can refresh a page without php. Just use
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; URL=pics.htm">
to refres teh page after 1 second to pics.htm.

Check out http://www.php.net also.

The refreshing the page part is not what I am having a problem with. Its complicated, I know, but I guess I am not making myself very clear. All I need is to make a page with nothing on it except for a picture, but when the page is refreshed, the picture will change to the next one in a sequence. Having it change to a random picture doesn't help me much. It sounds silly to ya'll, I know, but if someone could actually figure this out, that would be great.

[Raven_Gray]

If there is a way to change the content of  the page, aka telling it to move to the next picture without .php or making it a .GIF (because the all need to be .JPG images), then by all means tell me how. But if you can make a page that displays randomly selected images, then surely wouldn't it be possible to tweak the code so that it selects them in a certain order?

<?php

$fh = fopen('imgnum.txt','r');
$imgnum = fread($fh,filesize('imgnum.txt'));
fclose($fh);

$imgfilename = 'img'.$imgnum.'.jpg';

echo '<img src="'.$imgfilename.'">';

$imgnum++;

$fh2 = fopen('imgnum.txt','w');
fwrite($fh2,$imgnum);
fclose($fh2);

echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; URL=javascript:history(0)">';

?>

and the heads 'n bodys with html tags outsied fo the <?php ?> tags...


Then, put a file called imgnum.txt on the same folder, where you put the number 1. The image files are then named img##.jpg where ## is the number of the image in order...
