dynamic linking (images)

elskan

Many of you will have probably seen this before! I have a database full of images. I can display the images no problem. What I would like to do is for the user to click the thumbnail image, which would then take them to say for example pic.php. This would be a standard page where a larger image displays. I cannot however get the link to work.

I would like to know the correct syntax for this I presume the link would be something like

php
echo
<a href=pic.php?pic=$large_image><img src=$thumb_nail alt=$model_name></a>;

How do I then get the pic.php to display the larger image?

Thanks very much for your help

on example.pic.php, use this

depending on whether you have register_globals on or off, you will have to use different methods, if they are on you can use this

echo "<img src=$pic>";

on your example page, the link you supplied should work if you echo the whole thing just like that

it should work the way you have it, just be sure you are getting something in the query string when you go to the next page, i mean ensure that model is holding something
