sixseven Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hello, Fairly new to PHP and was curious if someone might know how to solve a fairly simple request. I am currently passing the name of an end user (who types their name in a form field) to a URL which is then passed along and placed into an html page to personalize the page for them to print. Is there a way that I could use PHP to use a specific image for a specific name typed in the field? Example would be: Name typed in field: Bob Picture used: Baseball OR Name typed in field: Alison: Picture used: Cat Below is some of the coder snippets I am using. Here is the code from the form that the end user types in their name: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="name_of_user.php"> <label>Gallery Name:<br /> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" /> </label> <br /> <label> <input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Submit" /> </label> </form> Here is the code that receives the post from above file: <?php $Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); // redirect to success page if ($success){ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=path to file/comp_pass_exhibitor.php?name=$Name\">"; } else{ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=path to file/comp_pass_exhibitor.php?name=$Name\">"; } ?> ________Below is code from the html page I want personalised_______ Here is the bit of code that places the name in the html page: <p><strong> <span style="text-transform:uppercase;"><?php echo $_GET['name']; ?></span> <br> some text that doesn't change</strong> </p> Here is the bit of code for the image on the html page: <td> <img src=" What would go here " width="140" height="109" align="left"> </td> Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt_F4 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 if you are using a database to store the users information you could put the path to the image in there and retrieve it when the customised html page is called. or i suppose if you didn't want to use a database you could do this with a file of some sort (possibly xml?)
