Hi everyone, first post here. I am in the process of designing my photography/design portfolio page, and have hit a problem. I know it CAN be resolved, but I’m just struggling to know HOW to resolve it. I am new to coding in PHP, although I can fairly easily find my way around existing code. I am fluent in HTML/CSS, and becoming confident in JavaScript (if that will help?).
First of all, here is the link to my test page: http://www.jacobshultz.com.au/test/photography.php
I have it set up so that using PHP it reads image files in the directory /test/photos/[categoryname], and then it finds thumbnails for those images from the directory /test/thumbs. The script then displays the thumbs and links them to the full sized image.
What I would like to do is this:
-
Upon clicking the image thumbnail, a new page is loaded (using some sort of a query? I’m really not sure), with the full sized image displayed in the page (in the same position where the image slider is placed on the photography.php page linked above).
-
Under the image will be the image name, and possibly some EXIF data? (date taken, location, description, etc.)
-
Finally I want PayPal buttons set up on this page as well. Obviously they need to be customised for the image (This will require simply using the same variable as the image name, I’m guessing)
I think that’s it. I know it’s a lot to request help for, but at the moment I’m at a loss as to how to do what I need to do. I know it can be done in some way/shape/form, as I’ve seen it on other sites, however I simply don’t have the knowledge in PHP to get me started. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much in advance,
Jacob
