Hi,
I am getting the frame with the script but only if I state direct path to
image directory and pic. What I need is I get pics dynamically from
database.
I am not getting it anyway.
So, if I tell
<?php ds("images/testpic.jpg",100,"big magic"); ?>
it works,
but if I tell
<?php ds("images/$pic_id",100,"big magic"); ?>
it doesnt.
Any ideas?

Ashok.
