[Resolved] using snippet of code from url address

cody44

PLEASE HELP................................

I have a form that has an url in the address line as follows;

'quoter.php?wtype=f10'

My images are kept in a folder called 'images_1'

Each image is called f1.jpg, f2.jpg etc. Where the 'f10' is shown in the url can I use that part of code to display my image f10.jpg

Basically to bring f10 into my code and put an extension of .jpg at the end of the line to display the image.

Im sure ive done this a long time ago !!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$_GET['wtype']

Is what your after.

Thanks planetsim,

still trying to put the .jpg extension at the end of the code !!

$_GET['wtype']

Can I add the extension to the end of the code and if so..........how?

You can add the extension with "." operator (dot).

echo $_GET['wtype'].".jpg";

Thanks for that it did do the trick and the image appears.

But..............its in a form and when I press the submit button on the form the image disappears, because the url wtype=f10 goes.

Is there anyway of keeping the image on the page.

my code is below.

I don't know if I understood your problem right. - you want the image to stay on a page after you sent a form (the form is sending to the same page?). If so, start the session to store the data.

<?php//this should be the first line of a file
session_start();
if (isset($_GET['wtype']) $_SESSION['wtype'] = $_GET['wtype'];
$picture = (isset($_SESSION['wtype'])?$_SESSION['wtype']."jpg":"default.jpg";

//whatever other content...



//and where you want to have a picture:
?>
<img src="window_sizes/<? echo $picture; ?>">

It doesn't have to be in the same file - as long as you use session_start() at the top of a script, session carries the data to other files.
