glenelkins Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 here is an example of a simple way to do this:[b]USER ENTRY FORM - for text (index.php)[/b][code]<img src="yourimage.jpg"><div positions><? echo $_POST['inputtext']; ?></div> <!-- USE A DIV TO POSITION THE TEXT OVER IMAGE --><form name="usertext" method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>"> <input type="text" name="inputtext" size="30" maxlength="100"> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></form>[/code]This is just a quick example of how this could work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 You're almost there with this:[code]<html><img src="brian.jpg"><div positions><? echo $_POST['inputtext']; ?></div><DIV STYLE="position:absolute; top:60px; left:370px; width:200px; height:25px"></DIV><form name="usertext" method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>"> <input type="text" name="inputtext" size="30" maxlength="100"> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></form></html>[/code]You have too many "<div>" tags. Try:[code]<html><head><title></title><body><img src="brian.jpg">if (isset($_POST['inputtext'])) { echo '<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; top:60px; left:370px; width:200px; height:25px">'; echo $_POST['inputtext']; echo '</DIV>'; }<form name="usertext" method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>"> <input type="text" name="inputtext" size="30" maxlength="100"> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></form></body></html>[/code]Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
