That code work:

startSlideshow(<?php echo json_encode(glob("photos-animaux/*.jpg"))?>);

that code dont :

$.post("",{'folder':'animaux'});
startSlideshow(<?php echo json_encode(glob("photos-".$_GET["folder"]."/*.jpg"))?>);

WHY ?, what i am doing wrong ?, help ! why the stupid php fonction just dont make the string right !! ahhhh!

---new infos---- that line work :

startSlideshow(<?php echo json_encode(glob("photos-".$_GET["folder"]."/*.jpg")) ?>);

because if i MANUALLY enter in the address bar ?folder=animaux...bam! work

so the problem shoul be there : $.get("photo-portfolio.php",{folder:"animaux"});

If you're using $.post() from JQuery, you should use $_POST['folder'] to access your variable. If you use $.get(), then you use $_GET['folder'] in PHP. Try changing that $_GET to $_POST.
