adding icons to users selections.

[MrTickles]

Hello,

Im tryoing to figure out how to add icons to users when they make a selection from a drop menu in a form.


For example:

on the forum there is a drop menu with 3 options. If they choose option 2, on the page that list their information they entered I would Like an option2 icon to be placed.

Right now I can only get text to show.

I hope this makes sense. I can post any other material that would help out.


Thank you for your time.

You stay a little bit unclear on where the icon should be displayed and how. Post the source code you have done already, that will give us an idea what you want to achieve and we can better assist.

This is the search.php page you can see working @
http://highknightz.com/hk/php/member/search.php to get an idea of what im talking about.

I want to replace the part that list the section name (CS, BF1942, BNET) with a icon picture. But i cant figure out how to do that. Sorry wish I had a better grasp on the php lingo to explain it a little better :)


If you need anything else let me know Ill be happy to get tis problem fixed :)

Thank you for your time

[mordred]

I'll reckon that you have to replace this part


echo "<TR bgcolor=$color><td><font color=lime><b>$section</font></td><TD><font color=black><b>$name</TD>";


with the appropriate HTML for including an image:


echo "<TR bgcolor=$color><td><img src='$section.gif' /></td><TD><font color=black><b>$name</TD>";


Of course you need an image that goes by the name of the retrieved section. And it hasn't got much to do with PHP, this is just HTML editing. So don't hesitate, you can't do much wrong by changing the lines that echo() prints.
