I'm still having no luck getting a slideshow program to work
dynamically. I have a client sending me batches of photos of various
events, and I'm uploading them into individual folders
(/graphics/NewYearsEve, /graphics/EasterParty, etc).

The script that I like is a javascript that cycles through images
defined as below:

var fadeimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed
fadeimages[0]="/graphics/shootout/shootout01.jpg"
fadeimages[1]="/graphics/shootout/shootout02.jpg"
fadeimages[2]="/graphics/shootout/shootout03.jpg"
fadeimages[3]="/graphics/shootout/shootout04.jpg"
etc...

I am trying to create one page (i.e. "slideshow.php") that will do this
when passed a variable in a link (i.e. A
HREF="slideshow.php?path=NewYearsEve"... Ideally that would tell the
slideshow script to look in /graphics/NewYearsEve/ for the photos, and
either read the filenames to insert in the above script or perhaps
count the number of files and then echo the above up to that number.
(The latter would obviously require renaming uploaded files to
comparable numbers.) So far I have had no luck borrowing similar code
from PHP.net or other code libraries, so I'm probably not approaching
this correctly. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to approach
this situation?

Thanx,
Wm
