[RESOLVED] setting variable to image file and using in $out.

CdnRebel

Hi!

They prefer to use variables and I am not sure how to code it.

I have the following:

var $yearNavForw="bookingAgent/images/rightarrow.gif";

$out.="<img src =\"".$this->yearNavForw."\"width = \"11\" height \"10\"></a></td></tr></table></td></tr>\n";

This doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
CdnRebel

are you getting errors? what is happening? can you "view source" and tell us what the html looks like? what should happen?

CdnRebel

Hi Stolzyboy,

I am not getting an error, but the image is not displaying on the screen properly and I cannot view the source code--only the page source and it just gives me the frames and the two php programs at the higher levels. The picture should just be a right arrow, but I am just getting a box icon with a smaller box inside that.

you can view source once the page is rendered thru IE or FF...

look for where the <img> tag would be and see what it's putting in the source, then the problem can be narrowed down from there

Hi Stolzyboy,

As I said, when I use view to view the source code all I am getting are the frames and the names of the php programs at the higher level. I am using Mozilla Firefox and right clicking the page gives me nothing. This is what I get when I do a View source on the page:

</BODY>
</HTML>

That is all I get in viewing the source. I am new to php, but not so new to web development.

Thanks,

right click in the appropriate frame and get the html that way, so rather than going to tools->view source (or whatever the menus are), right click around where the image is suppose to be, then view source, it'll give you the source for that particular frame area not the overall page

Hi Stolzyboy,

As I also stated in the previous post, right clicking gives me nothing. Although, I got more frame information, right clicking on the navigation bar. Right clicking on the body of the page gave me nothing, nada, as in no response.

Thanks, but the problem has been resolved. See revised version of the code:

php:

<?php
echo '
var $yearNavForw="/bookingAgent/images/rightarrow.gif";

$out.="<img src =\"".$this->yearNavForw."\"width = \"11\" height= \"10\"></a></td></tr></table>\n";
'
?>

I was missing the first '/' from the link for the file and the '=' from the height and there was an extraneous </td></tr>

seems kind of odd u can't get the source... a FF issue?

is this outside a network anywhere?

CdnRebel

I don't know. I am new to FireFox as well as php. I'm not sure what your question about outside a network means. The url is: http://www.comsoft.ca/bookingAgent/index.php. If you can view the source using IE, it might be worthwhile for me to try to get it here.

Thanks,

i can't login... so i'm not likely getting to the right place, not a biggy, they disabled right click in that app... you can once logged in go directly to those frame src pages and view source via the menu... but since it's working, it's not a big deal 🙂

was more wondering why it wasn't working

No I can't. Even logged in, I get the same thing. Nothing more with the View from the menu, other than what I sent in a previous email and nothing at all with the right click. The programmer just told me that he's got code in the main page to prevent viewing the source code. I think it's because we had to pay for the calendar coding.

Thanks,
