How To Add A Tooltip To An Image

[sildona]

I cannot figure out how to add this tooltip snippet

 

$tooltips = Array("Prison"=>"This word is word number 1", "Word2"=>"This word is word number 2");

$content = "Here are Word1 and Word2";
foreach ($tooltips as $word=>$tip){
   $content = preg_replace("/(".$word.")/", "<span title='".$tip."'>$1</span>", $content);
}
echo $content;

 

to the following image displayed from a database

 

echo "<img src='".$showimage."' height='200px' width='133px' />";

 

every time I try to call the variable $showimage in the tooltip, it comes out as a bunch of error messages and text. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post the error messages.

From your code, I'm not really sure what you're having problems with. Maybe giving us the error messages would help, but I wrote to someone else adding a tooltip to an image with and without JS.

If that's the kind of tooltip you're talking about. It could be changed to fit about anything.
