Using php to change img src ... possible?

[jtown]

Ok since my javascript way of changing the image src can't be done with everything I need, is there a way to have a link using php that changes the img src? I need it to change the src without reloading the page or calling a new page (links and img are on the same page and I need to keep the current cursor position)

this is very frustrating.

TIA.

Im not sure on the exact code. but i have done something to this effect when i worked on Chain selectors (one select box controls another)

but basically, to give you a direction, you have to use both javascript and php. Php for the variable and the image... but javascript to change the variable for the image.

I can get everything to work except getting the variable of my img from javascript to php. I don't really want to use js cause it's a pain in the rear and I can't get past this problem without using a form that submits.

If you want PHP to do it you'll need the client to make some sort of request to the server. That's because the server is where PHP is running. If you want do any processing of any sort on the client ... that's what Javascript is for.

What, precisely, are you trying to do? Change an <img> tag's src attribute according to some condition, I presume.

I'm trying to improve my photo gallery on my page. Currently I have a bunch of links that use JS to change the img src so a new one appears when they click a link. Now I want to add more features like guest comments, but I can't get any information about the picture after they click the link.

does that make sense?
