tooltip from php value

[tbuzz]

I have a dynamic table with several values linked to pop up's using _get. I want to show those pop ups as hover boxes (tooltip) but I can't find any good tut's or examples using a php value to show a recordset. I've spent days searching, can any one point me to a script or tut that does what I want and shows a good example, bearing in mind my php is getting better but is still basic. thanks

if I'm understanding you correctly all you should have to do is perform checks on your values.
if you want these tooltips standalone it's as easy as

$tip = null;
if ( isset($_GET['yourvalue1']) ) {
	$tip = 'whatyouwanttosay';
} else {
	$tip .= '';
} elseif ( isset($_GET['yourvalue2']) ) {
	$tip = 'whatidliketosay';
} else {
	$tip .= '';
}

etcetc
In that example it would print "whatyouwanttosay" for value1, or "whatidliketosay" for value2.
if you are wanting to addon to your tips per your values just use the .= operator..

$tip = null;
if ( isset($_GET['yourvalue1']) ) {
	$tip .= ' whatyou ';
} else {
	$tip .= '';
} elseif ( isset($_GET['yourvalue2']) ) {
	$tip .= ' wanttosay ';
} else {
	$tip .= '';
}

in that case if both were set the tooltip will show up as ' whatyou wanttosay '.

From there after you've set your css class for your link, just create your link as:

<a class='whatever' href="yoururl" tooltip="{$tip}">linktext</a>

That's my take on it anyway. Cheers

thanks for that but what I want is for the tooltip to show the result of a recordset, basically I want the tooltip to show something like

select name from table where id = myvalue
echo name

I've got it working with pop ups using onmouseover but it looks horrible
