I setup a new horror posters gallery on my horror site. Figured I would throw it at the experts for some feedback. It has a few features to it. here is the page http://horror-movies.ca/horror_posters.php

First off if you click on the poster page it shows you the latest added, you can then select the posters by first letter of the title and it orders them by title.

On the poster page it shows the poster but also variations of the poster.. so if I have 5 posters which I have in some cases it shows all the variations.
Example http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_posters_det.php?id=1525

It also uses an algorithm to grab the synopsis of the movie from my database and link to the movie page. So the only work involved is uploading the poster and my code links everything up correctly, and knows what posters are related, and what to link to and display.

Thanks to Westech who helped me solve some sql query problems. Namely if you look up a movie called "The Mummy" it will show it under T for The and M for Mummy.. cause you never know how it might get looked up :)

Script is not done, but feedback as always much appreciated.

Dude, that sounds very cool--good work!

And I like the "If you have a poster you know our dumb asses missed then send it over to the cryptkeeper"

Thanks James. I tried to make it very simple like the rest of my CMS so a simple step results in alot of detailed information for readers. I dont like spending hours doing things.. seconds is much nicer :)
