sildona Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I have a PHP file that shows thumbnails, but I would like to add a tooltip that shows up when I hover the mouse over the thumbnail. echo "<img src='".$showimage."' height='200px' width='133px' />"; Thanks in advance!

PravinS Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Set alt,title attribute for image tag Like: echo "<img src='".$showimage."' height='200px' width='133px' alt='SAMPLE TEXT'/>"; OR echo "<img src='".$showimage."' height='200px' width='133px' title='SAMPLE TEXT'/>"; or you can download some javascript tooltip script and apply it to image tag.

paulinetaylor85 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 You will add a new control to the image for each site in the database and set the size of the ToolTip window. I will suggest this link. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42050/ToolTip-With-Image-C Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269966-how-to-add-tooltip-for-image-displayed-from-database/#findComment-1390265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodirtyrockstar Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 If it were my site, I would add the tooltip text in a new field to the database. Then when you are fetching from the DB, retrieve that and bind it as an additional result. while($stmt->fetch()){ $format = "<img src='%s' title='%s' />" // where %s is a placeholder for a variable string printf($format, $imgSrc, $imgTooltip) // $format is the intended format, the following two parameters are the strings that you will place into the image placeholders during each iteration of results. } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269966-how-to-add-tooltip-for-image-displayed-from-database/#findComment-1390423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
