Thanks Bastien, In testing this I have added the code samples to a page and have it working except the path statement is not correct. For now, I've just added all the code to one page, rather than including a second page. The statement - echo '<img src="id=$id">'; is resulting in this error - The requested URL /id=$id was not found on this server. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chip
