Images or sketches in PHP website
Posted: Thu Oct 24, 2013 6:42 am
Hi,
I am putting together a PHP database driven site that helps my customers select parts.
It gives them dimensions and weights etc. as they progressively select parts into an assembly.
What I want to do is to have a dynamic sketch drawn on the page, as well as the tabulation, to illustrate the change in the assembly configuration as they choose the parts.
In simple terms first they might choose a bolt,then they might add a washer, then a nut and so on....
My range of options is not infinite, but there will be maybe 1200 different, but standard, parts to choose from.
If you imagine the left side of the page filled with tabulated numbers and the right side of the page has the sketch which changes as they build up their assembly.
Any suggestions on how to handle this (if it is possible) would be appreciated as I don't know where to look as a first step to handle the image/drawing aspect, I am not even sure if I have seen anyone do it !
Thanks
