now how build your html pages with these (and presumably other) images, each jpg having a unique name linking it to a model ID.

now the script does multiple searches on your server, looking at the source code of the html files, and matches the jpg names to the html file.

am i missing something here, someone pick this idea apart. seems pretty fuckin' simple.

Actually, it's not simple at all. The reason it's way more complex than that is because there is no industry wide standard format for file and /or directory names and structures. Everybody does things a different way. As I see it, it is not possible simply because there are infinite ways of doing things.

HOWEVER....I'm not a programmer....That's Stuart's area.
