Now please review this: ?php foreach (glob(images/*.jpg) as $filename) { echo(img src=\$filename\br$filename brbr); } ? Note: 1. This example does not put in all the embedded formatting shown in your example. What you did was simply bad form -- you should learn css as well. Also, you don't need to place the code within a bunch of html -- it will work as-is. 2. I always want my students to place images in an image directory -- the above conforms to that. 3. The example also shows how to separate the jpg's from other files in the directory. So, where do you want to go now?

[PHP] php books
Revisiting said dead horse, it's interesting there is no clear consensus of opinion about what is the best book to use to learn php. Generally, you get several people chiming in talking about the website. Now the website is the bomb indeed, BUT IT'S NOT A BOUND BOOK! So that's a terrific answer to a totally different question. It's interesting really; it suggests there is a wide range of perspectives and mindsets about wha is the best way to come to understand php. Possibly this suggests something about the general mindset of the php community- wide ranging individualism? -- end Very Truly yours, - Kirk Bailey, Largo Florida kniht +-+ | BOX | +-+ think -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

And if we don't like the way things are being done with the current tools we change it... We fix it That being said I've been considering a project that would take sample code and explain why it dos what it does... Make it reviewed by the big wigs here and possibly go as far as printing it... But definitely an ebook type thing.
