I am working on this tag cloud on my site. everything works great. Although I cant figure out how to display information as title tag in the link.

 

here is the code I am using, and this work fine.

 

function tag_info() { 
  $result = m_q("SELECT * FROM pic_tags GROUP BY tag ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20"); 
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 
    $arr[$row['tag']] = $row['count'];
  } 
  ksort($arr); 
  return $arr; 
}

function tag_cloud() {

    $min_size = 10;
    $max_size = 30;

    $tags = tag_info();

    $minimum_count = min(array_values($tags));
    $maximum_count = max(array_values($tags));
    $spread = $maximum_count - $minimum_count;

    if($spread == 0) {
        $spread = 1;
    }

    $cloud_html = '';
    $cloud_tags = array();
    foreach ($tags as $tag => $count) {
        $size = $min_size + ($count - $minimum_count) 
            * ($max_size - $min_size) / $spread;
        $cloud_tags[] = '<a style="font-size: '. floor($size) . 'px' 
            . '" class="tag_cloud" href="tagedphoto.php?tag=' . $tag 
            . '"  returned a count of ' . $count . '  title="' . $description . '"    ">' 
            . htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)) . '';
    }
    $cloud_html = join("\n", $cloud_tags) . "\n";
    return $cloud_html;

}

 

 

As you can see, I added the $description to the title tag within the link, although its not pulling the data from the database. I believe I have not defined it within the function, but Im not sure ...

 

any clue to whats going n here ?

 

thx

change lines

    $tags = tag_info();

    $minimum_count = min(array_values($tags));
    $maximum_count = max(array_values($tags));

to

$tags = tag_info();
foreach ($tags as $t) $tags1[] = $t[0];
$minimum_count = min($tags1);
$maximum_count = max($tags1);

ok this is what I have ....

 

function tag_info() { 
  $result = m_q("SELECT * FROM pic_tags GROUP BY tag ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20"); 
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  	// add both data to returned array
    $arr[$row['tag']] = array($row['count'], $row['desc']);
  } 
  ksort($arr);

    $max_size = 30;

    $tags = tag_info();

foreach ($tags as $t) $tags1[] = $t[0];
$minimum_count = min($tags1);
$maximum_count = max($tags1);

    $spread = $maximum_count - $minimum_count;

    if($spread == 0) {
        $spread = 1;
    }

    $cloud_html = '';
    $cloud_tags = array();
    foreach ($tags as $tag => $count) {
        $size = $min_size + ($count[0] - $minimum_count) 
            * ($max_size - $min_size) / $spread;
        //change output to $count[0](count) and $count[](description)
        //add ending a tag
        $cloud_tags[] = '<a style="font-size: '. floor($size) . 'px' 
            . '" class="tag_cloud" title=" '. $desc .'   " href="tagedphoto.php?tag=' . $tag 
            . ' ">' 
            . htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)) . '</a>';
    }
    $cloud_html = join("\n", $cloud_tags) . "\n";
    return $cloud_html;
}
