Kairu Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am trying to create a dynamic image in PHP. I want to be able to input a background image, and at least one overlaying smaller image. I have very limited knowledge in PHP, having only self taught myself a few peices of code.I don't know how to add data to a database through PHP yet, though I have a database set up along with my server. I also do not know how to call the data.Basically what I want to do is be able to call the image by a URL (ex: "http://mainurl.com/imagedir/[image number here].jpeg" I have jpeg set as a php identifyer on my server.(Will edit shortly) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31251-solved-dynamic-image-calling-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kairu Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Alright.... I have most of it down....One last question, however simple it may be, I cant seem to find the proper way to merge two strings into one variable..... I;ve been looking for an hour now... Mayhaps I just don't know how to search....I was thinking something similar to this? Though $query then becomes the value of 'id'.......$query = 'SELECT * FROM data WHERE id = ' + $_GET['id'];I guess I'll keep looking.Thanks!
