I have tried to use this behaviour but it doesnt work. I have image fields that if not empty should not show, trouble is they do creating an empty image space.

look at www.dordogneholidayhomes.co.uk/description.php?id=6 to see what I mean. There are only 2 pictures in the database for this site but an extra 4 empty 4 image fields appear.

Anyone no why this doesnt work?

Well it means that the recordset is not empty. We would need to see the data structure and the code used. Also, your site is not showing well at 800*600

You need to code an "IF Statement" around each of the images to check to see if the field of the recordset is empty. Not the whole recordset. I have no Idea how to code in PHP but the general idea is this:

--------------------------

If recordsetname.imagefieldname <> "" then

Image here

End If

--------------------------

So, for each image you check to see if the field that stores the name of the image is blank. If it isn't blank, then you show the image. If it is blank, then the image will not show.

Hope that helps...
