Please! Help editing existing code!

crackodile

I have tried a few websites with no luck, I am simply requesting assistance with editing the following code on my blog to make the header image "responsive" ... If you take a look at the site, everything is perfectly responsive except for the header image!

www.youareoncrack.com

The code for the header via plugin I installed is ...

// standard code
if(function_exists('chi_display_header')) { chi_display_header(); }

The <? ... ?> was added ...

The instructions I was given to adjust this code to make the header image "responsive" were as follows but as a beginner, I need more help!

"Go to line 479 in the Plugin code and change the output so it will fit your needs. Just use the variables $width, $height, and $header_image_url and change the output to your needs."

Can anyone please help me edit this small section? Please!

If it matters, the header currently on the site is 1010 x 204 px ...

Thanks!

If by being a "beginner" you mean you have no experience (and probably don't care to gain any) working with PHP, and by "help me" you mean do the work for you, then you should be posting in the Available positions forum to in order to solicit the services of a PHP developer to do whatever it is you're asking.

If you're actually here to learn, then you'll probably want to actually describe what it is you're trying to do. Next, note that our resident psychic is still out on vacation, so you'll have to show us the code on/around "line 479 in the Plugin code."

The resident psychic just called and said you are on crack! We are talking about adjusting "$width, $height" which I know enough about coding to see this is not a big deal but thanks for your "help" ...

Last I heard from him he'd just left the Air Force - and that was a few years ago.

By the way -- line 479 was already included in my original question and highlighted in green! #CRACK!

Oh, well that helps!

Now if only you actually told us anything useful about what we're doing, we might be on track. For example, what values do those variables hold? In what way are they supposed to be "adjusted" ?

Oh, you mean that piece of PHP code (that wasn't inside of [noparse]

...

[/noparse] tags, but thankfully it was in that wonderful shade of green instead...) that tells us absolutely nothing about a) what's going on (who knows what this chi_display_heade() does or does not do), or b) how that piece of code has anything to do with the variables $width and $height.

You might want to have that psychic call you back and be your translator. I'm afraid he's your only hope of communicating with the rest of the world, it would seem.

"Go to line 479 in the Plugin code and change the output so it will fit your needs. Just use the variables $width, $height, and $header_image_url and change the output to your needs."

Well there's your problem! Line 479 merely defines a dangling string without assigning it to any variable. When I try to run this line, I get the following notices:

PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: width in /var/www/erep_v2/chump.php on line 3
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: height in /var/www/erep_v2/chump.php on line 3
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: header_image_url in /var/www/erep_v2/chump.php on line 3

You might have better luck in your script, though, as this line is preceded by what are no doubt 478 lines of first-rate PHP code. My script just looks like this:

<?php

"Go to line 479 in the Plugin code and change the output so it will fit your needs. Just use the variables $width, $height, and $header_image_url and change the output to your needs."

?>

So line 479 says to go to line 479? These choose-your-own-adventure books are getting tricky.

Total Inception/Looper madness. Maybe this is what happened to the psychic?
