[runnerjp]

hey just had help with gttin this script to work...now i need to tweak it a ll

also if you look at the page its on [url=http://www.runnerselite.com]www.runnerselite.com[/url] you can see that the username and the message does not have a space inbetween it so its all crunched together  is their away so a can add [  (space):  ] to it if you get me....basicly space it out??

[code]<?php
#################################
include("chatbox/connect.php");
#################################

mysql_connect($host,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
// Select the database.
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
$query = "SELECT poster, message FROM ch_messages order by id DESC LIMIT 5";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$marquee = "";
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
   $marquee.= $r[poster]. ''. $r[message]. '</a>';

[/quote]

Where you want the white text

[Corona4456]

[code]
echo "<marquee><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marquee. "</span></font></marquee>"
[/code]

Or do:

[code]
echo "<marquee><font size='3' color='#ffffff'>". $marquee. "</font></marquee>"
[/code]

[runnerjp]

?>code]

error on line 19[/code]

[Barand]

The '&nbsp;' isn't quite right.

Can you post the marquee code you are now using.

PS Just refreshed the page and don't see any marquee text/images

[runnerjp]

}
echo "<marquee><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marquee. "</span></font></marquee>"

?>code][/code]

thats code....since i added the picture script its all gone got an error on 19th line

[Corona4456]

Well you won't see the image if there is only 1 post entry.

I intentionally did it that way.  If you want the image to show even with 1 post than I would recommend:

[code]
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $posts[$i] = "<img src='http://www.runnerselite.com/image/runner.gif'>".$r[poster].' - '. $r[message];
  ++$i;
}
$marquee = implode("", $posts)."<img src='http://www.runnerselite.com/image/runner.gif'>";

[/code]

Your choice though :)

[runnerjp]

ok i added

[code]<?php
#################################
include("chatbox/connect.php");
#################################

mysql_connect($host,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
// Select the database.
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
$query = "SELECT poster, message FROM ch_messages order by id DESC LIMIT 5";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$marquee = "";
$i = 0;
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $posts[$i] = "<img src='http://www.runnerselite.com/image/runner.gif'>".$r[poster].' - '. $r[message];
  ++$i;
}
$marquee = implode("", $posts)."<img src='http://www.runnerselite.com/image/runner.gif'>";
}
echo "<marquee><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marquee. "</span></font></marquee>"

?>[/code]

and still its not showin up :( error on line 19

[Barand]

what error message

[Corona4456]

[code]echo "<marquee><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marquee. "</span></font></marquee>"[/code]

doesn't have a [b];[/b] at the end... could that be the problem?

[runnerjp]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/runnerse/public_html/chatbox/maq.php on line 19

[runnerjp]

ok done it i deleted the { lol

is their away to control the speed of the marquee ?

[runnerjp]

and to stop long gap between posts  take alook and ull see what i mean [url=http://www.runnerselite.com]www.runnerselite.com[/url]

[Corona4456]

Change this:
[code]<marquee><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marquee. "</span></font></marquee>[/code]

To:
[code]<marquee scrolldelay='90'><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marquee. "</span></font></marquee>[/code]

The scroll delay doesn't necessarily have to be 90... change it to your liking :)

[runnerjp]

will it stop the massive lag at end between going to 1st message??

[runnerjp]

nope it didnt :( lol rite what i mean is it says 1st message then streight 2 second then massive lag till it loops over again like so

[move]hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message                                [/move]

[runnerjp]

[move]hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message....hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message....hello this is my 1st message...this is my second message....[/move]

This should help you customize your marquee to how you want it:

http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_MARQUEE.html

[Barand]

Feature of marquee - waits for existing text to clear before restarting

Chain several sets together so gap only appears every 40 cycles say

[code]<?php
$marquee = implode("<img src='http://www.runnerselite.com/image/runner.gif'>", $posts);

for ($i=0; $i=40; $i++) $marqueeText .= $marquee;

echo "<marquee><font size='3'><span style='color: white'>". $marqueeText. "</span></font></marquee>"
[/code]
