[SOLVED] Displaying image in a new tab via php wrong size

[Voodoo Jai]

I have a piece of code that takes a db value for an images location and displays it in another window. It works fine but the image is being scaled down, I want it to be viewed full size.

 

Here is the code:

 

   echo "<a href=\"menus/$menuView\" target=\"_blank\">VIEW</a>";
   echo "<img src=\"images/window.jpg\" alt=\"View takeaway food menu\"> view menu<br/>";

 

I presume I have to get the images height and width attribs but the problem is every image is a different size.

 

Hope you can help me.

 

Many thanks in advance

an image tag without height and width attributes should display the image at it's actual size. can you show us an example link of the problem?

I guess the image is being scaled by the browser. Clicking the image should show it's actual size. That's a browser behavior.

That is what is happening I have been trying the "getimagesize" function but as you say its the browser thats taking over the dimensions, can it be overidden.

The browser should have a way to "zoom" (really just making normal dimensions).  In FF, you just put your mouse over it an a magnifying glass appears, so you click.  In IE, I think you hold the mouse over it for several seconds and then a box appears in the top-right for you to click.

The guy is thinking to disable this functionality, which should be impossible. There may be a local option to prevent resizing, but that's local, you can't override that. At least not that i know.

Surely there must be a wayto veride this behaviour as when I just place the image on a page its displayed right.

[DarkWater]

When directly viewing an image, the browser resizes it.  Right-click a large image on a web page and click View Image (or the equivalent in other browsers) and you'll see what I mean.

[Fadion]

Displaying the image in an html page will display it right. Displaying the image in the browser without the proper html formatting will display it resized. If you want to override the behavior, make html pages for each image.

 

EDIT: DarkWater beat me to it.

That guys mission accomplished.
