Re: Re: Slideshow using PHP

Matthew - <<< Part of getting the slideshow to work is making the browser switch to the next image and well, PHP doesn't really make the browser do anything.

As I was thinking about it before posting this thread, that was my impression. The problem with my javaScript app is the fact that it needs to load all of the images.

I am hoping there is some way to load the iamges one-at-a-time; as needed. Someone told me that there is a way to use Flash and PHP. Todd Matthew Sims wrote:

I do have a JavaScript based "SlideShow", however, I would like to use PHP rather than JavaScript. Is there a way to "loop" with PHP and "display" an image without re-displaying the whole page? Todd

To get a good slideshow you'll need to use client side instructions, aka javascript. You're probably not going to get it to work so well using PHP which is server side instructions.
