So I kludged this together and it doesn't fail but doesn't display my
image after I click the thumb. glob() says it searches for all
pathnames so if the file was where the code is then the filname is the
pathname. I think. when i mouseover I can see that the path for the
image has "thumbs" in it as it is part of the path from blob().

<?php
foreach (glob("thumbs/*.jpg") as $file)
echo "<a href='images/$file'><img src='$file' class=\"pad1em\"></a>";
?>

How do I remove the thumbs from the link on the echo?

I think you guys are messing with me.

Thanks,
