Andrick Borderguard & Ketchup Co.: More Code Php Picture

[ The Generic PHP Picture Viewer ]

Simple and stupid, but you wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked for something like this. So here you have it -- the generic PHP picture viewer at the most base.

the code:

Create a page called 'picture_view.php', painted the way you like, with this embedded in the middle of it.

<div align="center" style="padding-top:10px;">

<?

$lead = "img/";
echo "<img src='$lead$source' alt='' border='0'>";

?>

</div>
<div align="center" style="padding-top:10px;">
<a href="JavaScript:window.close();" target="content">close</a>

And, if you have a thumbanil named 'pic_small.gif' and an image named 'pic_big.jpg' in the 'img' directory, your href on the referring page looks like this:

<a href="picture_view.php?source=pic_big.jpg" target="_blank">
<img src="img/pic_small.gif" border="0" width="xx" height="xx" alt="">
</a>

considerations:

Go crazy with it. You can send sizes, alt tags, rip the directory out and put it as part of the call, whatever.
I said it was simple and stupid, right?
