Scrolling text in PHP

andykal · Nov 11, 2001

I saw this somewhere on this site but can't remember exactly where.

Can anybody lead me there or tell me about it?

Many thanx

Searching helps.

Anyway, it's not possible because PHP is serverside, and scrolling text is clientside.

All you can do is use PHP to write a javascript script that will scroll the text.

There's the MARQUEE tag, but that's IE only.

I am using this Javascript/DHTML script to display data I am retrieving dynamically from a MySQL database using PHP. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/mikescroll.htm
It works great for my application.
