  • If I give her any more she'll blow

    From Spectre@21:3/101 to Php Man on Mon May 25 19:45:00 2020
    Huston I have a problem. I was poking about with the webring, it seems quite feasible to add the banner to the next and previous/last links. But I'm
    having trouble getting the images to match the links <boggle>

    The images are actually binary blobs in the SQL table. So to get the image I go back to the table and get it out, but if I use the same varible being used to generate the URL's I seem to get random images out :/ It might be due to not closing or resetting the SQL access before reading from it again, but its
    a basic search on an index number so there should be only one answer and it should be the correct one. I don't understand...

    I s'pose I could read the entire table into an array, but that seems kind of wasteful, and I dunno how to do that either. But then the BBS id number should match the array numbering.

    I s'pose I should pop this up on "temp" and make the script available.

    Don't mind me... I got to excited and recycled a variable already in use :)

    For a test drive before I move it to webring, http://ghostwheel.zapto.org/temp

    The visual decoration using the logos for NEXT and PREVIOUS is a good
    idea.

    I wasn't sure about the scale and fit to begin with, but it exceeded my expectations.

    I gotta ask, is Pointy a cousin to Boaty McBoatface?

    Yes.. Pointy is inspired by Boaty.

    I was wondering if anyone "got it" or when they'd ask. :)
