Don't try to figure out the name of the photo that is next/previous. Just do it "by number" and use http://php.net/array_slice after you do glob. This is a bit of a hack, as, technically, the Operating System is NOT required to return the files in any particular order, nor does glob document itself as returning them in order... So, you could also throw in a 'sort' or you can just live with the fact that it's only going to "work" by coincidence... If the number of files in one directory is HUGE, sort may be too expensive... But probably not, so try it with the sort first and then see. On Tue, July 10, 2007 9:01 am, Rahul Sitaram Johari wrote: > > I¹m trying to write a Photo Gallery in PHP.
