Introduction and questions...

-----Original Message----- From: Jason Pruim [mailto:japruim@raoset.com] Sent: terça-feira, 9 de Janeiro de 2007 17:37 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Introduction and questions... Hi Everyone, I'm very new to php and to this list. I'm hoping to be able to suck up as much knowledge from this list as I possibly can and be able to help and contribute in the future. But until that time, I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to write an image gallery script(Or program/application?) for displaying images on a web page. That part of it is working just fine, what I want to add though is the ability for people who use this script to be able to copy/paste a link to insert the HTML into their page/weblog. In other words... How do I get it to display the text: <img src="myserver.com/path/to/picture" height="reasonable size"> instead of actually displaying the picture? ============================================================= Check htmlentities on www.php.net/htmlentities. It converts < " and other characters to their correspondent html entities (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/re ference/charsets/charset2.asp ) ============================================================= Here is a copy/paste from the code I've been using: if ($i <= '5') // column count (designed for 5 columns wide - change the 5 for however many wanted) { $i = $i + '1'; echo ' <td align="left" width="115" height="100"> <a href="'.$filename.'"><img src="'. $filename.'" height="60" border="0" /></a><br /> <font size="1" face="tahoma">'. $filename.'<br />'.filesize($filename).' bytes. <BR /> link info: <img src=&quot;http://www.raoset.com/media/images/texas/images/'. $filename.'&quot; height="50%" ></font> </td> I have tried another more robust script but this is the one I'm currently working with. I'm usually a quick learner but right now I'm just lost, and I can't see the trees through the forest.I'm pretty sure I'm using php4.*, If someone can tell me where exactly to find that I would be more then happy to tell you the EXACT version I'm using. :) I'm not real good on the command line YET... It's another one of my many projects filed under "CRITICAL" Ahhh... The joys of a small business and wearing many many hats :) ============================================================= Check www.php.net/phpinfo. 1. Create a php file onn your webserver named phpinfo.php. 2. Insert the following code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> 3. Call the script from your browser. ============================================================= Anyway... Long enough post for my question I think, if you need more info let me know, and thanks in advance for any help even if it's just a RTFM...
