Hi, I'm trying to make a simple slideshow with forward and back buttons that change the image inside a div in php. When I press the "further" button, it jumps from index[0] to index[1] and never shows the first image. Then when I click more it doesn't go forward. When I click back, it goes back to a black screen div. Any help getting this to work is GREATLY appreciated because I've been trying for 2 days with tutorials and can't get it. Thanks. Derek

Here are the php parts that are relevant, my page was too large and confusing to include.

first, the $background array where I store my images.

$background = array
(
"<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME.jpg'/>",
"<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME2.jpg'/>"
);

then the code to move the images forward and backwards if the buttons are pressed.

then the code to move the images forward and backwards if the buttons are pressed.

and now to echo out the images inside the div.

<div id="background"><?php echo $currentBackground;?></div>

Hi,
You have not mentioned any java script here so i assume that your trying to achieve this using purely PHP. In my opinion this can't be possible without JavaScript(Please correct me if i am wrong). You may use ajax for this if you don't want to load all the data from the server at once.

OR
Transfer the PHP array to a JavaScript array and use the JavaScript array to navigate to and forth.

Thanks very much for that. Actually I'm using the flipping images for backgrounds in a role playing game I'm making. So the backgrounds have to change within the div. But thanks for the link.
