Hi guys, looked everywhere else for this so posting here as a last resort. I am looking to work out how to do paging in my php file. Basically I have an array of image names which are then used to dynamically create links to images. I want to limit the number of images per page.

Once my array is populated I iterate through it like...

Code:
foreach ($images as $file) {
    
   //$images being my array and $file being each filename
   //output links to images

}

How can I only output say 10 images on the first page, 10 on the second etc. I have done this before using mysql data but i cannot work it out for arrays.

Thanks in advance

How can
 
just one issue coming out of the above...

I have been using a lightbox gallery and on each image there is a image counter i.e.
image 1 of 12.

Because I am using paging now the count only shows the contents of each page, in other words on each page the total goes from 1 to 16 rather than 1-16, 17-32 etc etc.

The count is taking from the number of img tags generated. I am guessing that there is no other way around this? A count is totally necessary to perform the paging so I cannot think of any other way to have a running total, rather than a 'per page' total.

Any ideas on this? Sorry if not explained well enough
