Need help with PHP/HTML command

DPMan

I have some html code that I need to translate into PHPese.

I have managed to take this:

and successfully translate it into this:

<?php
print '<td colspan=2><a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/users.php?mode=logout" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"';
?>

My problem is in trying to convert the following html lines into PHPese:

onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('buttonON','','{button_path}/ButtonON.gif',1)">

<img name="buttonON" src="{button_path}/button.gif" width=48 height=29 border=0></a></td>

note {button_path} comes from $_CONF['button_path'].

That "onMouseOver" command above is really tough for me. Can this be done?

Thanks for any help.

It can be done. There's just really no need to "convert" though. It's better to keep your HTML seperate rom your PHP anyway....

Well this is a special situation. I'm trying to change the html header display stuff based on a global variable that tracks the login status of users. I want to set up a conditional statement that swaps images based upon whether the user is logged in.

I'm trying to do this within an html file:

<?PHP
if $_USER >1 then //user is logged in
{
display a "logout image.gif";
if the mouse goes over the
"logout image.gif", then display a
highlighted "logout image.gif";
}
else //user is logged out.
{
display a "login image.gif";
if the mouse goes over the
"login image.gif", then display a
highlighted "login image.gif";
}
?>

Since it seems no one is willing to help, I'm now wondering if this is a stupid idea, and if so, why, and how might I do it best.

<?
print("onMouseOver=\"MM_swapImage('buttonON','','".$_CONF['button_path']."/ButtonON.gif',1)\"><img name=\"buttonON\" src=\"".$_CONF['button_path']."/button.gif\" width=\"48\" height=\"29\" border=\"0\"></a></td>");
?>
