RE: [PHP] could i get a clue?

I don't think this is the "only possible way". I have used an html IMG tag, then created something like a rollover effect that called a php file for the image. It was kind of like a stop light, the light was off until focus came off of a particular form element, javascript then updated the image href with a few extra arguments, then the light turned green or red. You can also use a javascript popup window to call a php script. I'm sure there are a few ways to do this too. Here's the javascript <input type="text" size="45" name="1_1_email" value="" tabindex=1 onChange='validate_email()'><IMG SRC="./trans.gif" NAME=animation width=10 height=10 align=middle> <SCRIPT> function validate_email(){ document.animation.src = "./image.phtml?email=" + document.forms[0].elements[1].value ; return true; } </SCRIPT> here's the php <?php include("get_connected.func"); // This script checks for the existence of an image file, and outputs it, // if the image is not found than it will output a generic image $yes_image = "./green.gif"; $no_image = "./red.gif"; header("Content-type: image/gif"); $mysqlconn = new MySQL_class; $mysqlconn->Create($db); $select = "SELECT COUNT(item_id) FROM mkt_question_response WHERE item_id = '".$HTTP_GET_VARS["email"]."' GROUP BY item_id"; $mysqlconn->Query($select); if($mysqlconn->rows > 0){ readfile($no_image); }else{ readfile($yes_image); } ?> Robert Zwink http://www.zwink.net/daid.php -----Original Message----- From: Renze Munnik [mailto:renze@datalink.nl] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 11:30 AM To: marilyn manson; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] could i get a clue?

Then you'll get something like: window.location.href="myscript.php"; -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- H: +31 23 5516190 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- «««««««««««««««««««««««« -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
