Hi,
Great, thanks for that .. I do beleave you are being just a little harsh on my php knowladge .. I feel that the hours I have put into php I have a fair amount of knowladge and understanding of the basic concept, and have coded a number of personal projects of my own from scratch .. Sure they only basic tho.
And you mension gd often, I dont have great knowladge of gd but have picked up on the basics .. maybe marginaly enough to get by .. In the case of this thread .. gd isnt the issue, nore was the understanding of the entire script .. Just the addon of a peice of javascript.
I wont be giving up as I enjoy what can be acheived and the finished products to much .. I find it hard to learn sure, and maybe even post in here for an answer to soon .. once given the answer I then proceed to understand how the person came to the answer, I dont just take the code and run .. I woulnt have classed that as a bad thing .. but I guess it can be ..
As for taking others code .. the gallery is the first peice of code that I have taken .. in which is a tutorial for open source .. this has helped me to understand a number of php/gd functions .. Sure it hasnt given me the understanding at this stage to go ahead and write my own from scratch .. well Im sure I could write a fair amount of it from scratch.
I have a book that I reference to for some problems I come accross.
Like I say, I dont mind admitting that I have a hard time grasping onto some of the examples and explinations that go with them within sites like the php manual, sometimes by posting here of finding tutorials of code in question I am returned with a scenario/explaination that I can personally grasp easyer.
infolock and anyone else that has ever posted answers/comments to my threads, thanks heaps as they are all very much appreciated.
Thanks
