Hi, plugin has been working fine for following code until update a few versions back. I reverted to old version and code would work. However I updated today and receive error. Cannot find my old copy so should fix current error. Thanks for your help.
Code has been pulling last image that is uploaded to folder from webcam on island.
You can see error on nyc.nu
```
$pictures = glob("TLIP/*.jpg"); 
$no_pictures = count($pictures)-1;  // was missing ;
$limit = $no_pictures-0;            // was missing ;
for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i--){  // removed ; after $i--
echo "<img src=\"".$pictures[$i]."\" />"; 
}
```

Had some comments about no current image. yachties use it to keep track of conditions in bay so did restore to Version 2.5.4. code works there.

Does this version work (it does for me)
```
$pictures = glob("TLIP/*.jpg"); 
$no_pictures = count($pictures)-1; 
$limit = $no_pictures-0;       
for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i--){ 
echo '<img src="$pictures[$i]" />'; 
}
```

$pictures = glob(“TLIP/*.jpg”); $no_pictures = count($pictures)-1; $limit = $no_pictures-0; for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i–){ echo ”; }

Did you check the PHP checkbox?

opps. No. Now I get generic image for where image should be. So we are getting closer. see on nyc.nu home page. Thanks

Where should I look? There are multiple images.

On left side of page I put a line above where image should display saying

“LAST IMAGE FROM WEBCAM FOLDER – below”

using code from above…
$pictures = glob(“TLIP/*.jpg”);
$no_pictures = count($pictures)-1;
$limit = $no_pictures-0;
for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i–){
echo ‘‘;
}

Have solved issue. Went with different code. For those looking the folder where webcam images upload to is nyc . nu / TLIP / imagefilenamebydate.jpg
```
$dir = 'TLIP';
$base_url = '/TLIP';
$newest_mtime = 0;
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (($file != '.') && ($file != '..')) {
            $mtime = filemtime("$dir/$file");
            if ($mtime > $newest_mtime) {
                $newest_mtime = $mtime;
                $show_file = "$base_url/$file";
            }
        }
    }
}
print '<img src="' .$show_file. '" alt="Mooring Image">';
```
Thanks Kevin
