[PHP-DB] RE: Displaying a single picture...
not sure i understand why you would need to use a php script for this? why not just use a static html img tag, if all you're doing is opening the picture in a new window? -jon -Original Message- From: Brett Lathrope [mailto:brett;lathrope.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Displaying a single picture...

You could do something as simple as this: a href=displayPic.php?image=/path/to/image.jpgtitle=This is my titleimg src=/thumb.jpg border=0/a I think most browsers will convert the spaces in the link (when clicked) to '+' or '%20', but this may not be true with some less popular browsers (i don't know). Then displayPic.php might be something like this (if you have latest PHP version): displayPic.php ?php $image = isset($_GET['image']) ? $_GET['image'] : /unknown_pic.jpg; $title = isset($_GET['title]) ? $_GET['title] : /lost_title.jpg; ? img src=?= $image ?br ?= $title % -- Hope this helps Adam --- Original Message --- I have several thumbnail images spread out in my website.
