[SOLVED] Displaying images

[onthespot]

Hey guys. I have a folder with 3 images in, first.jpg, second.jpg, third.jpg.

These images are going to be used for 1st 2nd and 3rd place on my site.

 

<table align="center" width="100%"style='border: 1px dotted;'bgcolor="#eeeeee" >
<tr><td><?echo "<a href=\"userprofile.php?user=$user\"><b>$user</b></a>\n";?></td></tr>
<tr><td><?echo "at $final_date on $final_date2\n";?></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><?echo "$comment\n";?></td></tr>
<tr><td><? echo "$type\n";?></td></tr>
</table><br>

 

So this is the code for the table on my site. The $type variable is what I need the images to be linked to. So when it returns "league1", i need it to show the image "first.jpg", and league 2 , second, league 3 , third.

 

How can I go about doing this?

[onthespot]

if ($type == 'league1')
echo "<img src=\"images/awards/first.jpg\"></img>";
else if ($type == 'league2')
echo "<img src=\"images/awards/second.jpg\"></img>";

 

this works for so far, but how can i add this into a variable or some way where i dont have to write this in every place i want the medal to appear?

create a function instread.

 

function show_league_image($type)
{
   $images = array ( 'league1' => 'first.jpg',
                     'league2' => 'secound.jpg',
                     'league3' => 'third.jpg'
                   );

    if(array_key_exists($type, $images))
        return '<img src="images/awards/'.$images[$type].'" />';

    return false;
}

 

Now to display the images you call the function

 

<tr><td><? echo show_league_image($type) ?></td></tr>

Strange, you then applied the exact same logic WordPress applies to their functions as the way they deploy the functions. You are one kick-ass programmer, then?

So where would i add the width and height i want these images to be?

[onthespot]

ok forget that, just realised my school boy

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare show_league_image() (previously declared in

 

function show_league_image($type)

 

Thats the code its referring to, any ideas?

[wildteen88]

How are you using the function? Post your code here.

[onthespot]

$type=$row['awardtype'];
$comment=$row['awardcomment'];
$awarddate=$row['awarddate'];
           
$date=strtotime($awarddate);
$final_date=date("g:i a", $date);  
$final_date2=date("F j Y", $date);

function show_league_image($type)
{
   $images = array ( 'league1' => 'first.jpg',
                     'league2' => 'second.jpg',
                     'league3' => 'third.jpg'
                   );

    if(array_key_exists($type, $images))
        return '<img src="images/awards/'.$images[$type].'" width="20" height="45" />';

    return false;
}

?>


<table align="center" width="100%"style='border: 1px dotted;'bgcolor="#eeeeee" >
<tr><td><?echo "<a href=\"userprofile.php?user=$user\"><b>$user</b></a>\n";?></td></tr>
<tr><td><?echo "at $final_date on $final_date2\n";?></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><?echo "$comment\n";?></td></tr>
<tr><td><? echo show_league_image($type) ?></td></tr>
</table><br>

Where is this code being used? Is it within a while loop? If it is take this code

function show_league_image($type)
{
   $images = array ( 'league1' => 'first.jpg',
                     'league2' => 'second.jpg',
                     'league3' => 'third.jpg'
                   );

    if(array_key_exists($type, $images))
        return '<img src="images/awards/'.$images[$type].'" width="20" height="45" />';

    return false;
}

Outside of the while loop.
