Web site with numerous images

[Carl Gilbert]

Hi

I am developing a site that has 5 or 6 thumbnail pages each with 28 image on
each. Each thumb nail has a matching larger image.

So 5/6 groups of 28.

When the user clicks on one of the images, I want to load up another page
showing the selected full size image. I then want to provide the ability to
move back and forward through the collection of images.

Lets say I give each group a number and each image in that group its own
number so I have something like:

[group]
[images]

01
01, 02, 03, 04, .... 28
02
01, 02, 03, 04, .... 28

Is there anyway to have a page for each group and depending on the image
clicked, the page loads the relevant image.

Or even better, have one page that get told which group and which image from
that group to display and also changes bits of text like the title of the
page to detail the group. And provide logic to allow the user to navigate
the collection and detect when the start or the end of the group has been
reached, therefore not providing a next or previous button.

I have the code done to render the page with the thumbnails but would
appreciate some help on the logic to avoid making over a hundred pages to
cater for each image.

And before anybody asks, this has nothing to do with porn!

Kind regards, Carl Gilbert

Yeah, it's possible. I suggest using PHP with javascript backup for
local use. All my site's images use 1 page for display which is loaded
via the url. Check:

-especially the "uranus" page.

There are many ways to do this. Regrdless of which you choose, it will
involve
some sort of scripting language. I do this sort of thing all the time for
my job,
but usually the content needs to be searchable as well.

This is easily handled by somthing like PERL, PHP, Python, etc.
