The IT Ninja

Hi everyone,

I run a genealogy website that is mainly html, a few php pages, and a few java scripts i picked up for specific needs.
I dont know php or java. though i would like to pick a few things up.

I have a problem, a lengthy task manually, that i would like to automate.
I have about 300 images in a directory: images/arms/ and each image file name begins with a number followed by an underscore: e.g. 45_coatsofarms.png
I have a html file with text and in that text each image is mentioned with the number followed by a period: e.g. 45.
What i need to achieve is an image link directly after this text pointing to the correct file.

I know this can be done in php, but im not sure how to achieve it. Can someone offer some help?

Thanks

I'm no expert but you might be able to do this in javascript, perhaps somehow parse the text, and auto insert the links?

Perhaps some of the Ninja wizards could lend a hand?

Jamie,

do you have any more details? This is certainly do-able via PHP.

When you say you want to switch some text into links, does each number example "45." link to only ONE image?

Hi,

Try these steps...

1.Simple create a table like "images_upload",
2.In this table create a column name image
3. Put all the 300 images into this table.
4. Fetch all the value from the database put like that.
5. <a href="URL_<?=45_"File Name"?>" target="_blank">File Name</a>

I hope this helps
