Hey,

First, I got a page which displays information. I am trying to setup something that will show (in percentage) 0-100 for the information given. That is all done. However, I cannot get the image to work as it should.

I have it setup so that the percantage is set as a variable, and that variable is plugged into the width of the image as a percentage.

Example (beginning and end of code cut off so it will show up here):

img src="image.jpg" width="$imagewidth%" height="10"

I've expiremented setting it SEVERAL different ways, but no matter what, the variable isn't coming through for the image, and it isn't working. And no, I left out the PHP on purpose, the above is not the full code. But if I set it up to echo the variable, it shows the correct value, but if I set it up for the image width in several different ways, it nevers comes up with it. I know I'm doing something wrong with the image & variable code together, but I have been unable to get it to work so far, although I am sure it is something very stupid

hmmm.. you are coding it wrong.

you need to put a slash before the "
eg.

PHP Code:

<?
echo "<img src=\"image.jpg\" width=\"$imagewidth%\" height=\"10\">"
?>

let me know if that works

Hey,

Thanks for the help. I tried that and everything, couldn't understand why it wouldn't go. Then I figured out the problem was my functions and all, and that the way it was, if I had 100%, it would equal 0, so I got it fixed and now it is working, but thanks anyway!

if ($paymentmonthtotal>="70")
{
$g = "100%";
$n = "0";
$x = ($paymentmonthtotal-70);
$ed = "$x";
$mc = "Yes";
}
else
{
$n = (70-$paymentmonthtotal);
$c = (70-$n);
$a = ($c/70);
$b = ($a*100);
$g = "$b%";
$mc = "No";
$ed = "0";
}

Before it was just one set of variables and functions, but I had to split it up so that if it was 100%, it wouldn't show up as 0. And yes, I know I could probably cut down on some of the code above, but it is the way it is because of the information displayed on the page

also to make life easier you can jut do this

<img src="image.jpg" width="<? $imagewidth ?>%" height="10">"

that way you dont have to mess with the backslashes

Hey,

OK...

I don't want to spend $100 on something I only need to use to edit PHP with the color doing and such. Nor do I want to download a version which will only last 30 days and that will take me awhile to download (damn 56k).

I've always come across stuff about "free PHP editor" but I've never really been interested until now.

[Snake~eyes]

okay.. i'll get the name of that free editor

what are the backslashes for anyway?

[brendandonhu]

Backslashes are to escape special characters so that PHP doesn't try to interpret them.

Here are some free PHP Editors

hunt down crimson editor. VERY nice stuff.
also, there is a problem in your code

PHP Code:

<?
print("<img src=\"image.jpg\" width=\"${imagewidth}%\" height=\"10\">");
//the brackets allow the % sign to go throug
//The print function makes your code cleaner
//And the missing semicolon is a syntax error.
?>
