Was tired by then so i would include it lthough I did try just
images/image_name.jpg and it worked fine.
Mostly shrug my shoulders when I finally get something to work :)
Now my challenge is to read file names from a directory and display
them. This would be within an array. Can that work? Basically might
have 10 pictures, or 2 or 100. So I think in my record I need to make
a reference to where the picture for that record are kept. Like images
for 1937 I could store http://www.mysite.com/images/1937 or maybe just
images/1937.
So when my first array is reading the stuff from the DB can I also
have another array filled with this directory reference for the
picures? That would be cool.
Thanks
