You have used lightbox js(perhaps version 2). for the image slide show. What I am seeking for is automatic slideshow with the same kind of functionality with php and ajax. The functionality has to be similer like lightbox js. What I want is that users wont have to click on Next to get the next image, it should automaticaly how up after the specified time limit(seconds).

I'm failry sure with a bit of js hack you could trigger the functionality you require, some thing like calling what ever event is called when next is called inside a setTimeout() ?

do you even have to use PHP? unless you're getting the image names out of a database or reading a directory, just slap the filenames into a JS array.
also I'd probably suggest using the lightbox JS code and modifying it rather than starting from scratch.
I've tried it myself and its pretty hard to get it all to look the same in all browsers.
especially on Macs. the crazy machines of [s]woe[/s] goodness. hahaha.
