PHP Help

Well this seemed to work in years past so here I am again to ask the community for some php help.
I’m working on an image gallery called <a href=“http://www.solitude.dk/gallerythingie/">"Gallery Thingie”</a> which is actually a very good php gallery that relies on flat-file databases for its information. The problem i’m having is that i need to limit the amount of thumbnails that appear on a single page. I asked the creator of the script have gotten no good advice accept to look for loop tutorials.
Here’s what i have have:

<?php displayList($phpfile, "thumbnail");?>

I’m supposed to hack this line of code to do what I want.

Any ideas anyone???

I downloaded the Gallery Thingie file and noticed that in the gt-pub.php there are several for loops.

Example:

function displayList($phpfile, $linktitle = "number") {
		global $name, $id, $category, $cat, $title, $path;
		for ($i=0;$i<count($name);$i++) {

You can replace the count with the amount that you want to be displayed, but that would mean that you have to implement a page function…

would you or anyone else be able to help me do something like this???

Coming from a web-developer, I suggest that you start using mySQL or some kind of database structure. Databases ensure greater stability, speeds, and security than flat-file systems offer. I know this does not exactly help your situation, but just a word of advice.

An indespensible tool for PHP development is http://www.php.net. You can look up any function in the search box for its syntax, or browse through functions by category.

Quite so. PHP dot net will probably become your new bible, I often use it to look up the syntax of confusing functions… also, I always forget the parameter values for date(); :-p
