rather than use a dynamically modified image, you could use floating DIVs to represent the cities (i.e. float a 10x10 image in a DIV over the background map). This way, you would only need the person to load the actual map once (which would then cache it locally), and each of the city images once as well (so you could have cooler icons to!) this will require you to work out some more fancy HTML tho, rather than PHP code. // -----Original Message----- // From: dufronte [mailto:dufronte@kapsul.org] // Sent: Tuesday, 10 December 2002 3:17 PM // To: php-db@lists.php.net // Subject: RE: Call an Image from local Harddisk thru // PHP file in // Remote Host. // // // But somehow...
