I want to create a list of images which when the cursor hovers over; another image is displayed so i found this: http://www.dyn-web.com/code/tooltips/ and i created the code below.

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="tooltip/js/dw_tooltip_c.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        
        <script type="text/javascript">
            
            dw_Tooltip.defaultProps = {
                //supportTouch: true, // set false by default
                wrapFn: dw_Tooltip.wrapImageOverText // or dw_Tooltip.wrapTextOverImage
            }

            dw_Tooltip.content_vars = {
                L1: {
                    img: '/new_image.jpg',
                    txt: 'caption to go here'
                }
            }
            
        </script>
        
        <style type="text/css">
            div#tipDiv {
                font-size:11px; line-height:1.2;
                color:#000; background-color:#E1E5F1; 
                border:1px solid #667295; padding:4px;
                max-width:100%; 
            }
            
            /* for divs with classes img and txt 
            used in dw_Tooltip.wrapImageOverText and other image-text formatting functions */
            div#tipDiv div.img { 
                text-align:center; 
                margin:4px 0; 
                }
            div#tipDiv div.txt { 
                text-align:center; 
                margin:4px 0;
                }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <a href="." class="showTip L1"><img width='120px' height="120px" src="image.jpg" /></a>
    </body>
</html>

it works fine with static values but i want to retrieve all of the image urls from my db and display them in a list and then when hovering the image that is shown relates to the value received from the db, so i created the while loop which looks something like this:

<?php
$get_all_photos = mysqli_query($db, "select * from photos WHERE user_id='1'");

while ($photo = mysqli_fetch_array($get_all_photos)) {
    $url = "$photo['url']";
?>
    <a href='' class="showTip L1"><img src="<?php echo $url;?>"/></a>
<?php
}
?>

how do i now assign the values from the while loop in the javascript above?

 

i have already tried something as simple this:

            dw_Tooltip.content_vars = {
                L1: {
                    img: '<?php echo $url;?>',
                    txt: '<?php echo $caption;?>'
                } 

if anyone can help that would be awesome

 

thanks

maybe something like this?

<script>
dw_Tooltip.content_vars = {
L1: {    

<?php
$get_all_photos = mysqli_query($db, "select * from photos WHERE user_id='1'");
$photo_urls     = array();

while ($photo = mysqli_fetch_array($get_all_photos)) {
    
    $photo_urls[] = $photo['url'];
?>
    img: '<?php echo $photo['url']; ?>',
    txt: '<?php echo $photo['capture']; ?>'
                
<?php
}
?>
} }
</script>

<?php 
foreach ($photo_urls as $url){
  ?>
    <a href='' class="showTip L1"><img src="<?php echo $url; ?>"/></a>
<?php 
}
?>

Thanks for your answer and help! it has helped ALOT!! i tried the method but its not working 100%

it does work if i LIMIT 1 on the mysql query,

 

so im assuming its happening because all of the images are wrapped with the same class="showTip L1" which javascript cant determine between.

<?php
require('main_inc.php');
?>
<html>
    <head>
            <style type="text/css">
            div#tipDiv {
                font-size:11px; line-height:1.2;
                color:#000; background-color:#E1E5F1; 
                border:1px solid #667295; padding:4px;
                max-width:100%; 
            }
            
            /* for divs with classes img and txt 
            used in dw_Tooltip.wrapImageOverText and other image-text formatting functions */
            div#tipDiv div.img { 
                text-align:center; 
                margin:4px 0; 
                }
            div#tipDiv div.txt { 
                text-align:center; 
                margin:4px 0;
                }
        </style>
    
        <script src="tooltip/js/dw_tooltip_c.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript">
            dw_Tooltip.defaultProps = {
            //supportTouch: true, // set false by default
            wrapFn: dw_Tooltip.wrapImageOverText // or dw_Tooltip.wrapTextOverImage
            }
                        
            dw_Tooltip.content_vars = {
            L1: {    

            <?php
            $get_all_photos = mysqli_query($db, "select * from photos WHERE user_id='1' and deleted='0'");
            $photo_urls     = array();

            while ($photo = mysqli_fetch_array($get_all_photos)) {

                $photo_urls[] = $photo['filename'];
            ?>
                img: 'photos/<?php echo $photo['filename']; ?>',
                txt: '<?php echo $photo['caption']; ?>'

            <?php
            }
            ?>
            }}
        </script>

        <?php 
        foreach ($photo_urls as $url){
        ?>
            <a href='' class='showTip L1'><img height='120px' width='120px' src='photos/cropped/cropped_<?php echo $url; ?>'/></a>
        <?php 
        }
        ?>
    </head>
</html>

this is the source code of the above code all the variables look to have been successfully passed to the js:

<html>
    <head>
            <style type="text/css">
            div#tipDiv {
                font-size:11px; line-height:1.2;
                color:#000; background-color:#E1E5F1; 
                border:1px solid #667295; padding:4px;
                max-width:100%; 
            }
            
            /* for divs with classes img and txt 
            used in dw_Tooltip.wrapImageOverText and other image-text formatting functions */
            div#tipDiv div.img { 
                text-align:center; 
                margin:4px 0; 
                }
            div#tipDiv div.txt { 
                text-align:center; 
                margin:4px 0;
                }
        </style>
    
        <script src="tooltip/js/dw_tooltip_c.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript">
            dw_Tooltip.defaultProps = {
            //supportTouch: true, // set false by default
            wrapFn: dw_Tooltip.wrapImageOverText // or dw_Tooltip.wrapTextOverImage
            }
                        
            dw_Tooltip.content_vars = {
            L1: {    

                            img: 'photos/0ab17af02b41816d0515aaa0e7d6d98bc7abe4ff.jpg',
                txt: ''

                            img: 'photos/48c76fa82f9faa598f5f7691dfc61a61e0c40039.jpg',
                txt: ''

                        }}
        </script>

                    <a href='' class='showTip L1'><img height='120px' width='120px' src='photos/cropped/cropped_0ab17af02b41816d0515aaa0e7d6d98bc7abe4ff.jpg'/></a>
                    <a href='' class='showTip L1'><img height='120px' width='120px' src='photos/cropped/cropped_48c76fa82f9faa598f5f7691dfc61a61e0c40039.jpg'/></a>
