[Resolved] Image stretching for a poll system

[ScubaKing22]

Hey guys I've made a voting both/poll system and am wondering how to stretch the image. What I mean is that in many voting systems the results are showed using an image. However, the image is "stretched" or "contracted" based on the number of votes. For example, if one option had 100% of the votes, the image would reach across the whole "booth". If an option had 50% of the votes, the image would be cut in half. How is that done? Thanks for any help.

<img src="path/to/your/image.jpg" width="<?= $width; ?>">

$width contains the width as integer you calculated beforehand.

btw:
You signature should say "I glaube ich liebe dich". Your Grammar is wrong g

Yes I've had that comment from several people its just that I'm taking German I and didn't know I will change it. Thanks for the help I thought it had to be done using some advanced PHP image libraries. I forgot about that simple HTML...

By far the easiest way is just to make the maximum width of the graph image 100 pixels. Then make the percentage the width of the image. For example, if it is 29%, then the $width would be 29.

<img src="image.gif" width="<?=$width?>" height="10">

To make the maximum width of the graph image something else, just take the new maximum width and subtract the percentage of the poll. Does that make sense? It's getting close to quitting time.

Thanks that is actually what I thought about doing.
