Okay I don't think my organisation of this was the best way to do it but here is my problem. I have a MySQL table which lists of load of 'pages'. (My website is CMS based and each row is a page.) I have two types of pages. Main or Child. Child pages have a Parent (which is one of the main pages). You can probably see how this is going. I have a navigation that lists all the 'main' pages and when you mouseover it you see a dropdown of sub-pages (all the child pages for that parent page) I would like to create some sort of tool in the CMS Cp that allows the admin to drag and drop the pages so they are displayed in a certain order. I've tried ordering them by ID but it gets too confusing when switching orders and switching IDs. Hopefully you will understand this and somebody has had this problem before? - Thanks in advance!

AlexWD Thanks, I thought I did? I'll have to check... EDIT: Yes, I have...

AlexWD Thank you so much!!! However, your script doesn't work completely because a fatal error is returned. Fatal error: 'http://thewalkingtree.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/children-1.jpg' is not a valid image resource on line 11 [/home/www/byrom.freehostia.com/smclc/image.php] line 11 is: $image = new Image('http://thewalkingtree.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/children-1.jpg');

Thanks, I've had a bit of a brainwave... all the scripts to similar things to what I want but I can't seem to find one myself, looks like I'm going to have to hard code it... Thanks anyway !

Hey! Well I have a little dilema, hoping I could find some guidance. I have a CMS and on the actual website I am building I have a nice little slideshow script that runs through all the images in a certain directory. The dimensions of the slideshow are 900x250. (Obviously not all images come in this size straight from the camera so I need a little resize crop and save script to do this for the user) I would like the 'admin' to be able to upload an image (or more than one at the same time, if it's not much more hard work) and then PHP simply takes over from there. At which point the images would be resized to 900px in width (keeping the aspect ratio) and then cropped to take the middle 250px out. then this image is saved in "images/slideshow" as a 900x250 pixel image? The format it is saved in isn't that much of a problem. Thanks a lot in advance! Any guidance is appreciated! For example, this image: http://thewalkingtree.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/children-1.jpg Would become: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4315/kidsl.png

Okay well I am trying to make a 'dynamic' calender image with PHP. I have images like this: and: Obv I have an image for each day of the month (1 - 31) and I have images for each month. if i created a file named, cal.php i want to be able to use that in an img tag and it will mix two images together (month with day below it) and will show today's date. Any guidance, links to tutorials etc? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks, and like you said it's only for simple stuff (like the date!) Plus, the only people able to edit the content is the site admins so they can destroy their site if they wish... Thanks alot!

whaaaaaat an idiot. Thank you so much!!

Hey, right I wouldn't say I'm a complete beginner but I'm definitely not the best. I am making a website, with a fairly basic CMS. Each page is stored in a row in a table (shown below) id name content 1 Home <b>HELLO</b> there <u>welcome</u> to the site. 2 About us <b>HELLO</b> there <u>welcome</u> to the about bit. hopefully you can understand how the basic principles work, by going to mywebsite.com?id=1 you would see the first 'page'. mywebsite.com?id=2 would give you the second 'page' and so on... Plus, the html stored in the database has all the characters converted as you can see. Using html_entity_decode i convert all these characters back. Right, here is my problem. I want to have some PHP code mixed in with the HTML stored in the database. I have looked at eval but that appears to just handle PHP code, not PHP and HTML? Unless I am mistaken... Here is the actual code I have (including PHP) <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><table border="0" align="left" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" background="images/qouteback.gif" width="260" height="165" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; top: 5px; left:5px;"> <tr> <td width="229" align="left" valign="top"><table width="52" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" height="5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><div class="newsCal"> <div class="newsCalMonth"> <?php $month = date("M"); $day = date("d"); echo $month; ?> </div> <div class="newsCalDay"><?php echo $day; ?></div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <font size="+1"><u>New Website!</u></font><br /> We'd like to welcome you to the brand new website we have.
