Re: PHP and ISMAP

Hello *, I have a landmap splited into 100x100 pixel parts and show it in a grid of e.g. 8x6. Now I like to use ISMAP to get infos about places on this card. The problem is, that I can not send additonal Card infos like <A href="card.php?MAP=offenburg&CARD=00041_00037"> <IMG src="offenburg/00041_00037.jpg" ismap></A> which will result in a URL like

    http://localhost/card.php?MAP=offenburg&CARD=00041_00037?61,67
                             ^                              ^
                              \                            /
                               \                          /
                                 Which does not work  :-(

you said that Apache's ModRewrite is no good for you (your loss - btw you know the connection between modRewrite and php?) but have you tried lookiing in the value of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] as apposed to relying on the contents of $_GET in this case - I am assuming that card.php is actually called. now I'll bet $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] contains: http://localhost/card.php?MAP=offenburg&CARD=00041_00037?61,67 and I'm going to assume that you are capable enough to be able to 'parse' that string to extract the information manually... yes? good! that's all folks :-)

This mean, I need to create for each Image a seperatly php file like <A href="offenburg/00041_00037.php"> <IMG src="offenburg/00041_00037.jpg" ismap></A> with the MAP-Data and use "include" to get the rest of the CGI and get an URL like

    http://localhost/offenburg/00041_00037.php?61,67

Here is a test: <http://michelle.konzack.home.tamay-dogan.homelinux.net/tdlandmap/card_overview.php?MAP=offenburg&H_START=41&V_START=30>

        (Clickmaps are not working but scrolling does work)

Q 1:    WHAT is the best solution ?

Q 2:    HOW can I get the ISMAP Data into my PHP-CGI ?

Q 3:    HOW must I make/implement my MAP-Data

Please note, that I have around 400.000 tildes and I can not load a singel filed which contain all the MAP-Data because it is dynamicly updated. Greetings Michelle
