I was wanting to put a picture viewer on one of my pages. I was wanting to see if I could write it in php, although it would probably be a lot easier in javascript.

How would I go about doing this? some psuedo code would be great! I've been thinking about it but haven't got it all down as to what I will need? Any suggestions, or just doi it in javascript.

1) pictures / links to pics in a MySQL database...
2) loop through the database records sequentially or randomly
3) display in website, with PHP code for layout and thumbnails, searching...

OK but but how do I write the part to display the picture? do I stick the query in an <img src> tag?

you do the query with php and that will return a rowset... you want to loop through each row in that and assuming you have a field that contains the relative location of the image on the server, you would store that value in a variable and then use it in your img src tags

something like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?php
   print "<img src=\"$location\"/>";
?>

Yep... the <img src> tags... Skuinders hit it right on the money...
