Getting a rollover image to execute php

29 New Member
Hi everyone ... Hope you are all well ...

I have a rollover image button that I need to do several things:
1. Update a variable: <?PHP $VarNum = $VarNum + 1 ?>
2. Open a pdf file: <a href="Catalog.p df"
- and if possible -
3. Update a database variable: <?PHP mysql_query("UP DATE tableA SET M = $VarNum"); ?>

All on one click ... Could someone please give me an idea of the syntax.

Thanks

Robert

PHP will not work for rollover things nor buttons like you want... You will need Javascript or AJAX.

PHP is server side, which means that it is only done when the page is requested. Once the page has been requested it cannot change, so PHP variables are only available while the server is outputting the page. The only way to change a PHP variable would be to refresh the page by sending a command to itself. I don't recommend this and encourage you to look into javascript.

I'm relatively new to scripting in JavaScript, so I'm not too surprised I'm having difficulty scripting up an animation effect for my personal site. What I'm trying to do is the following: When I go onMouseOver on a button in a nav bar, I want that button to switch to a different image while at the same time another blank image changes as an animation to an associated image. When I go onMouseOut, the bar image reverts back to the...

I have this code that I want to use to do a rollover. However, because the company I am doing it for is continually changing the text, I want to be able to use dynamic text to change the text on the fly, and still have the rollover work. I have taken the text off of the buttons, but cannot figure out how to do it with dynamic text using javascript and html. For example, in the columns of this row, I want to put "About...

I'm wrestling with CSS variations between Firefox and IE. I'm trying to create rollover buttons in a menu frame. It is working perfectly in Firefox but in IE only the first button is properly highlighted and linked. The second button, has only a partial "hit area" at the top of the image, although if you click the link, you can see the link border is properly place around the image. The rest of the buttons have no rolloever state or link...

Just curious why a VERY commonly used affect of rollover was NOT implemented in .NET 2.0 for web controls? Does anyone have a link to VB code that will show me how to build my own UserControl that will support a rollover? thanks, Rob.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
