>>Because base 7 sounds kinda appealing

Base 13!  Base 13!

Well I have the code to go up to base 36.  I'm gonna start playing around with writting a function that takes am admin specified comma delimited list of image files and depending on how many they have be able to create a number base off of that.

Lets just say I took the easy way out and didn't right my own decimal to binary converter.  So if its wrong then PHP has a big ol error.

I got done writting a Roman Numerial converter, I just need to do some more research to deal with all the rules ( and to look up some more for characters > 1000 )

didn't they just stick a bar over the number for 5000 or something like that? I don't think they went past the thousands for letters

Yeah and I found a solution that works for like 5000 (V with a bar) the problem comes like 4000 which would be M(V bar).  And I just want to make sure it's accurate

Well... it's in hex at the moment, so converting to binary would get you a little fucked.
