Translate simple php to javascript

Jason2k1 · 1 Apr 2003

I have a picture gallery on one of my sites which displays thumbnails of all the pictures and when a picture is clicked it pops up a window with the enlarged picture in it. i currently use php to do this, but i would like to translate it into a client-side language like javascript.

the url of the page that displays the pictures is:
pictureviewer.php?src=name.jpg where name is the name of the picture.

the current code i use is this:

PHP:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Picture Viewer</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor="#99cc00" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="10">

<TABLE width="100%" height="100%" border="0">

<TR><TD align="center" valign="middle">

<IMG src="images/gallery/<?php echo("$src");?>">

</TD></TR>

</TABLE>

</BODY>

</HTML>

Does anyone know how to get this to work using javascript.

Please help,

Thanks in advance

Try this. It only works with one parameter though!

PHP:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Picture Viewer</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#99cc00" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="10">
<TABLE width="100%" height="100%" border="0">
<TR><TD align="center" valign="middle">
<SCRIPT>
image = location.href.substring(location.href.lastIndexOf("=")+1,location.href.length);
document.writeln("<IMG src=\\"images/gallery/\\"" +  image+ ">");
</SCRIPT>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

hey... if neither of you would mind, I would like to know how I might place a picture viewer on my site. I want one that would search a directory and use anything from it (JPG). I tried the code above but was unable to get it to work for me. I greatly appreciate it.

Then you need to stick with PHP or something other server-side. You can't use Javascript anyway, no file access.

There are some free u can download (and if you wish, modify) if you look for them. www.sourceforge.net is one place to look.

Thanks Zedric, the script didn't work that you gave me, just a few things that i had to change and it worked. Thanks neway, i wunt of got out like that on my own seen as im only a beginner in the javascript language. Ive posted the corrected script below if anyone wants to use it:

PHP:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Picture Viewer</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#99cc00" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="10">
<TABLE width="100%" height="100%" border="0">
<TR><TD align="center" valign="middle">
<SCRIPT>
image = location.href.substring(location.href.lastIndexOf("=")+1,location.href.length);
document.writeln("<IMG src=\"images/gallery/"+image+"\">");
</SCRIPT>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

*doh!*
You're right, that " did come on the wrong side of "image". That's what you get for not testing the code.
