Hey,
This is my first post so go easy :)
I’m in the middle of designing a website users can download files from. I’ve searched the web and found the perfect example of what I’m trying to achieve which is something clear and simple (http://www.getfreefonts.info/free_fonts.a.html)
From the category’s at the top A-Z how, can I return the results with a hyperlink and example of the font? I’m new to web designing (only done 1 before) but I know I need mysql and PhP.
Regards
Steve
Jump to PostHere is an example.
<html> <body> <ul> <?php for($i=65;$i<=90;$i++) { echo "<li><a href='char.php?alpha=".chr($i)."'>".chr($i)."</a></li>"; } ?> </ul> </body> </html> <?php if(isset($_REQUEST['alpha'])) { $alphabet = $_REQUEST['alpha']; echo "You selected alphabet: ".$alphabet; /* * Then you can query the table for fonts starting from the selected alphabet like * $query …
Here is an example.
<html>
<body>
<ul>
<?php
for($i=65;$i<=90;$i++) {
echo "<li><a href='char.php?alpha=".chr($i)."'>".chr($i)."</a></li>";
}
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST['alpha'])) {
$alphabet = $_REQUEST['alpha'];
echo "You selected alphabet: ".$alphabet;
/*
* Then you can query the table for fonts starting from the selected alphabet like
* $query = "select * from fonts_table where font_name like '%".$alphabet."%'";
* Then display the results.
*/
}
?>Maybe you can also save an image of the font (like this, http://www.getfreefonts.info/samples/aajaxsurrealfreak.gif) in the table along with the font_name. Then display corresponding font image next to its name.
Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it. My first post and Ive already met one of the good guys.
One more question though. Instead of having an image to show the font type could I not have some text instead pulled from a database field written in the font.
Ofcourse you can. But for that, you should make sure all the required fonts are installed.
