I'm looking for a PHP script or tutorial on how to switch out images.
I have images as page headers, and instead of having separate css for each page to call the image for the div, I'd like to use the same CSS and pop in a PHP script if possible. Unless that is a bad way to do it, or harder

Do you want a differnt image to load on the page every time it is refreshed?

pgo · 11-06-2008, 14:52

Not sure what you're asking.

Are you trying to change images on page loads or without page loads?

datahound · 11-06-2008, 14:54

Do you want this to load when the page loads or on the load pages?

No random image. No refresh.

Here is a link to what I have, I want it to change that title bar when the user goes to THAT specific page. I know I can do it using CSS. Do you thinking just popping in a additional style sheet with that div info in there is good enough?

Let me guess, you're using IE and getting an error due to the PNG?
I am working on that, any insight on that would be great.

datahound · 11-06-2008, 15:57

Yes IE it won't load, I have no ideason that.

Here is a little something that may help.

Test Current File

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Current File</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color:
<?php 
if ($PHP_SELF == '/testcurrentfile/test1.php'){echo("#CCFF33");} 
elseif ($PHP_SELF == '/testcurrentfile/test2.php'){echo("#66CCFF");} 
elseif ($PHP_SELF == '/testcurrentfile/test3.php'){echo("#FF9933");} 
?>;
	
	
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<p>TEXT</p>
<p>--> <?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?></p>
<p><a href="test1.php">test 1</a></p>
<p><a href="test2.php">test 2</a></p>
<p><a href="test3.php">test 3</a></p>
</body>
</html>

You can do this purely in CSS.

Give the body tag of each page an id:

Code:

<body id="index">
<body id="about_us">

Then you create a div (or whatever) to hold the image, and give it an ID.

Code:

<div id="background_image">

Then you create different CSS declarations for the different pages:

Code:

#index #background_image
{
    background-image: url(path/to/index_page_image.png);
}
#about_us #background_image
{
   background-image: url(path/to/about_us_page_image.png);
}
