Show us your code for that page. It would make things easier for people to
help. Specifically, exactly what code are you using to refresh the enlarged
image area?

In **general**, one way to build the array (put in your appropiate error
checking, of course) is:

$res = $mysql_query("the_query_string", the_db_handle);
$numElementInArray = mysql_num_rows($res);
$theArray = array();
for ($i=0; $i<$numElementInArray; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
$theArray[$i] = $row['identifier'];
}

Then in the appropriate field in the html area you might have something
like:
<p><?php echo $theArray[$i]; ?></p>

where, of course, $i corresponds to the index of the particular thumbnail
selected (its value).

More or less, this is the kind of thing you would be doing.
