tommybfisher Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi, I want to be able to load a php include on a page when a link is rolled over, then remove it when rolled away. However, the code I am using does not do anything. Is this something that can be achieved by this method? <p><a href="" onmouseout="index.php?page=services" onmouseover="<?php include("includes/services.bespoke.php"); ?>">Bespoke database design</a></p> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240930-php-include-to-be-loaded-on-onmouseover/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs.punk Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 What are you trying to do? Why would you need that file included only when moused overed anyway? Beside the fact it wouldn't work...

gizmola Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 No, that will not work. PHP is run server side. Javascript events happen in in the browser on your workstation. What are you trying to accomplish? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240930-php-include-to-be-loaded-on-onmouseover/#findComment-1237570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommybfisher Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well I was aware of the server/client differences, however, I thought that as you can get php includes to load via a click of a mouse, I wanted to do the same via a rollover. I want to have a block of text displayed when the user rolls over each link in turn, the text changing for each link. I can see I am going about this the wrong way. Any ideas on what form the solution should be? Many thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240930-php-include-to-be-loaded-on-onmouseover/#findComment-1237573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe search for "javascript show content onmouseover".

gizmola Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 You will get a lot of hits if you search for javascript tooltip. I recommend jquery based addons like http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/ Check the demos and I'm sure you'll be very impressed at the capabilities and variety of different ways you can use it. Here's a whole list of similar packages to check out. http://www.webdesignbooth.com/15-jquery-plugins-to-create-an-user-friendly-tooltip/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240930-php-include-to-be-loaded-on-onmouseover/#findComment-1237697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
