Help for Newbie! Need to create a link to larger image target _blank in PHP

Expand Post »
Hi
I have a site that I am struggling to get it to do what I need it to! I have managed to add how many photos appear but I cannot add A HREF links around these thumbnails to get a larger picture to appear in browser window. Code is below - all help appreciated. ( I want the 100X100 images to be clickable and show full size in another window)

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. if(!empty($a1[image]))
  2. 	{
  3. 		$im_array = explode("|", $a1[image]);
  4.  
  5. 		$FirstImage = "<img src=\"re_images/$im_array[0]\" width=100 height=100 border=1>";
  6.  
  7. 		$SecondImage = "<img src=\"re_images/$im_array[1]\" width=100 height=100 border=1>";
  8.  
  9. 		$ThirdImage = "<img src=\"re_images/$im_array[2]\" width=100 height=100 border=1>";
  10.  
  11. 		$FourthImage = "<img src=\"re_images/$im_array[3]\" width=100 height=100 border=1>";
  12.  
  13. 		$FifthImage = "<img src=\"re_images/$im_array[4]\" width=100 height=100 border=1>";
  14.  
  15. 		$SixthImage = "<img src=\"re_images/$im_array[5]\" width=100 height=100 border=1>";
  16.  
  17. 	}
  18.  
  19.  
  20. 	$ShowInfo .= "</td>\n\t<td align=center valign=top>$FirstImage<br>$SecondImage<br>$ThirdImage<br>$FourthImage<br>$FifthImage<br>$SixthImage<br>For more information call<br><b> $a1[FirstName] $a1[LastName]<br>$a1[phone]</b><br>or click <a class=RedLink href=\"email.php?AgentID=$a1[AgentID]&ListingID=$a1[ListingID]\">here</a> to email.<center>";
  21.  
  22.  
  23. 	$ShowInfo .= "</center></td>\n</tr>";

Re: Help for Newbie! Need to create a link to larger image target _blank in PHP

Could you not put the link in the array like:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1.  
  2. <?php
  3. if(!empty($a1[image]))
  4. 	{
  5. 		$im_array = explode("|", $a1[image]);
  6.  
  7. 		$FirstImage = "<a href=\"link_to_your_image\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/$im_array[0]\" width=100 height=100 border=1></a>";
  8.  
  9. 		$SecondImage = "<a href=\"link_to_your_image\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/$im_array[1]\" width=100 height=100 border=1></a>";
  10.  
  11. 		$ThirdImage = "<a href=\"link_to_your_image\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/$im_array[2]\" width=100 height=100 border=1></a>";
  12.  
  13. 		$FourthImage = "<a href=\"link_to_your_image\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/$im_array[3]\" width=100 height=100 border=1></a>";
  14.  
  15. 		$FifthImage = "<a href=\"link_to_your_image\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/$im_array[4]\" width=100 height=100 border=1></a>";
  16.  
  17. 		$SixthImage = "<a href=\"link_to_your_image\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/$im_array[5]\" width=100 height=100 border=1></a>";
  18.  
  19. 	}
  20.  
  21.  
  22. 	$ShowInfo .= "</td>\n\t<td align=center valign=top>$FirstImage<br>$SecondImage<br>$ThirdImage<br>$FourthImage<br>$FifthImage<br>$SixthImage<br>For more information call<br><b> $a1[FirstName] $a1[LastName]<br>$a1[phone]</b><br>or click <a class=RedLink href=\"email.php?AgentID=$a1[AgentID]&ListingID=$a1[ListingID]\">here</a> to email.<center>";
  23.  
  24.  
  25. 	$ShowInfo .= "</center></td>\n</tr>";
  26. ?>

or am I misunderstanding the question?

Re: Help for Newbie! Need to create a link to larger image target _blank in PHP

And if you're interested in making that code a little smaller:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <?php
  2.  if(!empty($a1[image])) {
  3.   $im_array = explode("|", $a1[image]);
  4.   $images = "";
  5.  
  6.   if ($im_array !== false) {
  7.    foreach ($im_array as $img) {
  8.     $images .= "<a href=\"re_images/".$img."\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/".$img."\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"1\" /></a><br />\n";
  9.    }
  10.   }
  11.  }
  12.  
  13.  $ShowInfo .= "</td>\n\t<td align=center valign=top>".$images."For more information call<br><b> ".$a1['FirstName']." ".$a1['LastName']."<br>".$a1'[phone']."</b><br>or click <a class=RedLink href=\"email.php?AgentID=".$a1['AgentID']."&ListingID=".$a1['ListingID']."\">here</a> to email.<center>";
  14.  $ShowInfo .= "</center></td>\n</tr>";
  15. ?>

Hi
Thanks for your response. I tried that solution but I could not reference the image correctly. As they are being labelled as Image1 and so on in that line of code no matter what I tried to put in the area you labelled "link_to_your_image\" I could not get it to work and the page blanks out.

Thanks again - it's probably me being dumb and missing something obvious!

Hi
I have now cracked it thansk to your answer! I had the syntax wrong.

Following the way you have entered the link I tried entering alt text for the link but it just does not appear? Any ideas?
THanks

Should be something like this:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. "<a href=\"re_images/".$img."\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"re_images/".$img."\" alt=\"ALT TEXT\"width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"1\" /></a><br />\n";
