Hello,
Fairly new to PHP and was curious if someone might know how to solve a fairly simple request.
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
I am currently passing the name of an end user (who types their name in a form field) to a URL which is then passed along and placed into an html page to personalize the page for them to print. Is there a way that I could use PHP to use a specific image for a specific name typed in the field?
Example would be:
Name typed in field: Bob
Picture used: Baseball
OR
Name typed in field: Alison:
Picture used: Cat
Below is some of the coder snippets I am using.
Here is the code from the form that the end user types in their name:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="name_of_user.php">
<label>Gallery Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Submit" />
</label>
</form>
Here is the code that receives the post from above file:
<?php
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=path to file/comp_pass_exhibitor.php?name=$Name">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=path to file/comp_pass_exhibitor.php?name=$Name">";
}
?>
________Below is code from the html page I want personalised_______
Here is the bit of code that places the name in the html page:
<p><strong>
<span style="text-transform:uppercase;"><?php echo $_GET['name']; ?></span>
some text that doesn't change</strong> </p>
Here is the bit of code for the image on the html page:
<td>
<img src=" What would go here " width="140" height="109" align="left">
</td>
Any help would be appreciated
