    lightbox is a client side javascript library, not a server side php library. You don't need to do anything with PHP to make it work.

    where you are printing images, use rel="lightbox". and it will work.

    for instance

    <a href="yourbigimg.gif" rel="lightbox" title="Blah"><img src="yoursmallimg.gif" alt="Blah" class="thumbnails2" /></a>

    Also include all js files right before <head>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/default/javascripts/prototype.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/default/javascripts/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/default/javascripts/lightbox.js"></script>

    Peace

    No I have implemented this thing on many projects, I am sure you are missing something, perhaps you are not including js files on right place. Gimme the demo url and then I can tell you exact problem.

    You will need to include the lightbox.js within the <head> tags of your file. If you don't have these tags, I would start by adding them.

    You're page won't validate without <head> tags either.
