   It looks like there is a problem with the getfolders.php file reading your images or something else in the folder is in there that isn't an image.

   Make sure there aren't any files inside the images folders that shouldn't be there. Looking at your the array being created, it's finding 6 images but it might be seeing something else in there and it's having issue with it.

   Thanks for that,

   Okay, I've deleted everything in my folders, but instead of showing me a blank page I get four different error messages now. Has anyone got any idea what these are?

   Could be some hidden files in there. Maybe a .ds or thumbs.db file. If you're using an ftp program, sometimes it has an option to show hidden files. It could be the hidden files that are causing the errors. If you get rid of those, hopefully the errors will disappear.

   Thank you for your continued help, it's really apreciated. I've had a trawl through but can't see any hidden files. HOwever, when I tried to upload new files to the server, I was met with "Error: Destination directory can't be created. Can't carry on a process" I assume this is something to do with permissions (weeps in dismay becasue server is Windows not Unix)

   Thank you.

   That error is usually a simply mistype of the folder destination. Typically it's ../images/ and ../imagethumbs/ by default, if you did something like images/ and imagethumbs/ then it would give you this error.

   As for the errors described above I have noticed that the people who have found this error are typically on a Windows server running PHP and not a Linux or Unix server. I wonder if it has something to do with running the "GD Image Library". That is how the script is reading in the IPTC/Meta Data of the images. I am not overly experienced on the server side of things so I am sorry I don't have the technical know how to fully help you with a Windows server.

   Thanks, with your help I keep on getting one step closer. You seem to be right, after I entered the correct directory names, I get the error: "GD doesn't seem to be present"

   The function(s) that read the image IPTC/Metadata rely on the GD library. I am not sure, but you could see if your host can put the GD library on your hosting plan, but I am not sure if the Windows server running php supports it.
