    I have no idea how I need to go about it or how difficult it is but I want to create a site a database driven site for my photographs. It would be easy to show all the results on one page (I already know how to do that) but how do I make it so it only displays more than 5 pictures on one page?

    The problem is I don't want to manually create these pages for example if I started with 40 photo's and then added another 20 I just want to be able to add these to the database, upload the images and then all the new pages will be displayed automaticly.

    I am guessing this may be able to be done with some kind of query string and also it will be one page as far as the server is concerned but that page will change its contents when the user clicks on view next images.

    Take a look at something my friend and I put together, you'll need a web host with php and mysql to make it work.

    I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you how it all goes together, it depends on how my time you want to put into it, or if you want a quick solution he'd probably do you a deal, he's good like that.

    I think I have figured it out, basically all the pictures will be displayed on the same page but the it will only display 5 pictures the first time, then when the user clicks on next, it shows the next 5 records etc. This should work nicely. I've just got to figure out the syntax now.
