Showing the Shop Detail - Page 15

January 12, 2001

We're now going to develop the script malldetail.php, which will display details of the specific shop that the user clicked on. The first thing it has to do is a database lookup for the shop information. It will then display a thumbnail of the mall layout with just the current shop highlighted.

In order to display a thumbnail of the image, we're going to use a function called ImageCopyResized(). This lets us copy a section of a source image, resize it, and paste it into a new image. The function works with two images: a source image and a destination image. It uses the following syntax:

ImageCopyResized(destination image,
		source image,
		destination x, destination y,
		source x, source y,
		destination width, destination height,
		source width, source height);
image23.jpg For each image, we specify x and y coordinates, as well as a width and a height. An area width wide and height high, the top-left hand corner of which lives at (x, y) is copied from the source image, scaled to the correct width and height (as specified for the destination image) and placed into the destination image at the specified (x, y) position. The diagram below illustrates the process:

Since showmall.php already has all the code we need to display our mall, we'll just modify it to be able to display a thumbnail of our image instead of the full thing.

Try It Out - Resizing Images

The first thing we need to do is to create our script malldetail.php:

<?php
//malldetail.php
include "./common_db.inc";
$link_id = db_connect('mapping');
$query = "SELECT * FROM mall WHERE m_id=".$id;
$mallResult = mysql_query($query,$link_id) or die($query);
$mallRow = mysql_fetch_array($mallResult);
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE><?php echo $mallRow[1]; ?></TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H3><?php echo $mallRow[3]; ?></H3>
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=500>
<TR>
<TD VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH=100>
<IMG SRC="showmall.php?show=<?php echo $mallRow[0]; ?>&
  thumbnail=on" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100>
<TD VALIGN="TOP">
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=300>
<TR>
<TD><b>Shop Number:</b><br> <?php echo $mallRow[2]; ?></TD>
<TD><b>Phone Number:</b><br> <?php echo $mallRow[4]; ?></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN=2><b>Keywords:</b><br>
<?php echo $mallRow[7]; ?>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<A HREF="javascript:history.back()">Return</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
