Going round in circles. Am a beginner to this game so please be patient. I am trying to link from three (photogallery) options on one page (page 1) to a framset "GalFS.php" with two frames; the left one being a scrolling thumbnail strip, let's call it thumbnail.php and the right one a main display panel where I want to display an enlarged image of the thumbnail. On page 1, I have set up three queries which generate a code which I use in a subsequent querie on the thumbnail.php page. Now, if I link page 1 directly to thumbnail.php it displays the correct set of images in the thumbnail strip so that works. The link script in page 1 is:
<td><a href="GalFS.php?image=<? echo $row_Street['code'];?>" target="_top"><img src="Images/Gallery01.jpg"
and the query that uses the parsed variable in thumbnail.php is:
$query_photogals = "SELECT * FROM gallery WHERE code = '$image' ORDER BY gallery.id";
The problem is, I am trying to open up the frameset and not just the frame and I think I have to put some code in somewhere in the frame definition line but where and what should the code be? Would be ecstatic if someone out there could give me a solution to this.

thanks for that: did eventually opt for an alternative though still using a frameset. I just combined the first page with the framset but it doesn't look like a frameset and then I call up a scrolling thumbnail.php in the left frame when one of the galleries is selected. It may not be the most graceful of scripting solutions but it works and it is quite fast. Thanks for the suggestion anyway :-)

why use frames?
why don't you use a table with 2 cells: on the left you do a require of thumbnail.php on the right put the image ...
you can even afterwards change the picture without reloading the page (accessing the img.src = 'newsource.jpg' through javascript)
or you can reload the same page with $PHP_SELF?id=newpicid ...
would this not work for you and make it alot simpler?
(it's an alternative ...) :)
