    Hi,

    I am coding a website with PHP and I want to add a very simple image gallery on one of its pages. I want it to be as simple as it can be. I searched for tutorials and codes and I found a few useful resources.

    I want to ask if it is possible to create an image gallery without using JavaScript. As I said it will be as simple as possible, just "next and back buttons" no slideshows or such.

    Thanks.

    If you don't use client side scripting like JavaScript, each time you want to change a picture you will have to load the page.
    if you insist (I don't understand why) of not using it, I think you should embed a php page that use an array of pictures like this:
    $pic = array ('pic1.jpg','pic2.jpg',...);
    have the pic location in the url like this: page.php?pic=1
    when the page loads ues get to get the pic numbet $picnum=(int)$_GET['pic'];

    the next button will be if($picnum+1<count($pic))<a = "page.php?pic=<?=$picnum++?>">next</a>
    back will be <?php if($picnum-->0)?> <a = "page.php?pic=<?=$picnum--?>">back</a>
    to present the picture just use: <img src="<?=$pic[$picnum]?>">

    hope it helps

    Thanks for the reply. I am designing for mobile devices, that's why I want to do it with simple PHP if it is possible. I will try your code snippets but I am new to PHP and I am not sure if I can compile a working code out of it.
