Using PHP to generate an on page message

Noam_Chomsky

Hi there - I want to use PHP to generate an on page message similar in style to the message that appears on this page when someone clicks "add to cart".

My message will be triggered if $_GET['added'] exists in the incoming URL - does anyone know of a tutorial or something that will explain how to make this kind of slide-out box mechanism that the message can be displayed in?

Thanks a lot

EDIT: Sorry, didn't make myself that clear in the original posting. I want to make a .php webpage that doesn't have this message if someone just goes to www.mywebsite.com/example.php, but does see the message if they go to www.mywebsite.com/example.php?added=1

Can anyone tell me what the code is to make a div invisible unless the incoming url has

?added=1

Ps - that site I linked to is entirely open-source, so I can take its source code and use it on my own page. I'm a complete beginner, so I don't know entirely what to do, but the little message that pops up on the site is coded like this

<div id="notification"><div class="attention" style="">Success: You have added <a href="http://demo.opencart.com/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=41">iMac</a> to your <a href="http://demo.opencart.com/index.php?route=checkout/cart">shopping cart</a>!<img src="Your%20Store_files/close.png" alt="" class="close"></div></div>

I can't see on the page source how the div is told to stay hidden - does anyone know how to make a div hidden, but then become visible if if $_GET['added'] exists in the incoming URL?

Thanks a lot

The effect that you desire has less to do with PHP and more to do with clientside scripting.

P.S.: interesting choice of username :o
