using php to grab posted images using img id's

Hi There,

Yes i 'am a newbie.

But hopefully I'll be changing that.

I've got a jQuery gallery script which is great but I'd like to customize the way it receives it's images.

at the moment it's pretty straight forward.

it uses an <img> tag to display the thumbnail in the gallery and an <a> tag to display the overlay.

What i want to do is use a script that uses the <img id of an image post further up the page and display it in the gallery.

Obviously there would be separate img id's for the thumbnail image and the full size images.

My question is; Is this possible using PHP?

That depends on the image "further up the page" - if it was generated using a PHP script, then sure.

The point is, PHP is a server-side language, and it has no idea what an <img> tag is, let alone what it's id attribute is.

Ok. the images can be generated using php if required.

The website is still in the build stage at the moment
