Hi all,
is there any other way to limit this code to only displaying 1 image other
than using return. When I use return, I can't get the other images to display
in lightbox, but when I use echo, all 5 of the images will correctly display
in lightbox, but they are also displaying on the page.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM properties");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$matches = glob('images/property_pics/212006966/' .$prefix. '*');
foreach($matches as $match){
echo "<a href=$match rel='lightbox[$matches]' /><img src =
$match></a>";
I'm not even sure if this is possible, but thought I'd ask before I scrapped
the idea. I've been at this code since last thursday trying to learn as much
as I can about it and I just keep going in circles and I'm starting to feel
like glob() is what is limiting me. I've tried various code blocks with things
like where(), str_repeat, basename, scandir, sort etc with no luck. :-/
I hate to sound condescending, but you are showing some serious
deficiencies in your programming ability. I have to say that you are
tackling some very complex processes without the basic understanding of
programming that one needs. What I base this opinion on is that since
you first revealed your lack of understanding of Return and echo in php,
you have spent another 3 days and STILL don't understand? Really?
As for the code above - once again it looks like you have posted a
re-typing of some code you have tried to execute. I say that because
you have a query and a fetch of one record of the results THAT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE CODE! Also - you have an array
being used as part of the Rel tag? What's up with that? (I think you
meant to use $match - but that further verifies that this is NOT the
code you ran.)
Finally - the code is (from your description) doing exactly what it is
designed to do (the running code that is). All the (repeated) "echo"
statements are going to put something on your web page. The question
you have is (apparently) how to hide them, since I believe Lightbox is
going to have to have them present in order to do its thing. And so -
in parting - I think you need to develop some html knowledge to
facilitate that "hiding" part and some immediate skills in the general
area of programming and learning to locate and read the right manuals.
"Glob" is the least of your concerns.
Yes - I'm being rough (I say this to you David as well as the rest of
the community that is still interested in this post) but somebody has to
make you realize that you are seriously in over your head and don't even
know it. Have you read a book on php and perhaps one on CSS to help
with your "hiding" problem? (BTW - that last was a hint.)
AND PLEASE - don't post supposed "code snippets" again. Let us see what
you really ran if you want us to help. Or do you not know how to copy
and paste either? I/we can't help you if we can't see it.
Sorry to be so blunt.
