It is starting to make sense. I see the correlation between the manual
example and the code you show. Surprisingly (and equally confusing) the
book I have also uses a while loop with mysql_fetch_array to display a list.
The &getimg variable comes in from the javasript function on the other page
embedded in the url:
window.open('../../assets/img760/img.php?getimg=alfstag1')
the variable content is the field (imgname) that I use to find the record.
I have been passing all of the variables manually via the url but it would
be best if I used a database as there are around 400 to show and changes in
a db are easier than in the html head.
This may be the problem as I now get "supplied argument not valid mysql
result" on this line.
$query = "select imglocation,height,width from img where imgname='$getimg'";
Thank you for taking the time with me on this. I will see if I can find the
remaining problems and get to coding the 400+ pages that I need to get this
into.
It looks like I might be able to use the GetImageSize function to do this
same thing? maybe? All I am doing is getting the location (url) of an
image and its height and width for an <img src= > statement..... maybe I am
making this into a bigger job than necessary?? I think I have been working
on it too long today and I need a long walk.....
Anyway, thank you again for taking the time and for the book recommendation.
