[SOLVED] Variable Coords in Image Map

[sarkocreme]

echo "<area shape='rect'

coords=",$a*6,$b*6,$a*6+5,$b*6+5,"

href='move.php'

title='Test'>

<area shape='default'

nohref>";

 

I'm using to input variables into the coordinates. It basically does nothing as is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Still looking for help on this topic or what to search for to find answers. Thanks.

you can't do math substitution in a quoted string like that. you'll need something more like:

 

echo "<area shape='rect' coords='".($a*6).",".($b*6).",".($a*6+5).",".($b*6+5)."' href='move.php' title='Test'><area shape='default' nohref>";

That makes more sense but it's still not working with that code (as in you can't click anywhere on the image). Any other suggestions?

 

I appreciate the help.

Can you show the HTML page that uses his code that doesn't work? The code looks fine to me..

The full code of that file is:

<?

echo"<IMG SRC='map.php' border='0' usemap='#shapes'>

<map name='shapes'>";

 

for($a=0; $a<=40; $a++)

{

for($b=0; $b<=40; $b++)

{

echo "<area shape='rect' coords='".($a*6).",".($b*6).",".($a*6+5).",".($b*6+5)."' href='move.php' title='".$a.",".$b."'><area shape='default' nohref>";

}

}

echo '</map>';

?>

Well that was a silly mistake. Realized it as soon as I got home and had time to really look at it. Having that default show up in the FOR loop nullified all the new coordinates.

 

Thanks for the solution!

Why not just make it a map?

 

<a href="file.php"><img src="src.gif" border="0" ISMAP></a>
