[SOLVED] Same Page, Different Images

[GeekyG]

Hello,

 

In the “featured work” section of my new portfolio, I am using image screen shots of the project, anywhere from 1 to 10 images depending on the size of the project. Although I got everything to work correctly, I realize now that these images, are really slowing down the download time of the page. Not good. Essential all of the images are “hidden” until the end-user clicks on a button.

 

Here is the url: http://www.multimedia-designs.com/V3/HTML/projects/featured_project.php

 

Using PHP, what is the best way to have the same page but a different image when the end-user clicks on a button?

 

I like the way this website displays the images: http://www.benhulse.com/web/dunnett-1.php . Is this just using the include function? If so, is this the best way?

 

All help is appreciated.

If you want it this way http://www.benhulse.com/web/dunnett-1.php you will need to do.

 

1) Create a php script that takes the pictures id from the url, using the $_GET function.

2) using the Id from the url change your img source to look something like <img scr  = filepath/$id. Then change the pictures name to = this id

3) Create something similar to a pagination script to help create a number of image links depending on the number of images you have.

This is a little over my head, but I will definitely look into how to do this.

 

Would you say this is the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

That is the best way in my opinon because you are only reloading the picture rather than the whole page. Also Sacrifice some image quality so load times are quicker.
