I'm not sure what you mean. I think my source is correct yes, hence why I can't figure out the problem. As far as my knowledge extends, the php code I provided does exactly the same as the collection of <a> tags - but it produces completely different results.
I have already noted that my php code will produce four thumbnails which I have accounted for, however it i this code which will load the first image in a new page and not display facebook share links.

What actually happens is that the first thumbnail loads the last added image in a new page, then the other three as expected but with the focus on the picture displayed by the query. It also did not show a Facebook share button when using PHP.
