packedpluto Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, I have created a thumbnail page with brief descriptions from a XML file, and I would like to be able to click on one of the thumbnails and have it load a new page with all of the information on that particular image, plus the full sized image. I am using php, and I don't want to have to make a new page for every image. Is there a way to load a universal page with only the information from the selected image? I haven't been able to find any examples of this particular question yet. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packedpluto Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Ok, I added that string and I made a new page called page.php (just to make it easy) and I can get the page.php to load properly depending on which picture is clicked. I tried to understand the get query string from the tutorial, but I'm just not understanding how to make it do what I want.I can't get it to show all of the info from the particular xml subchild. I am using a vin number system to identify which category is being selected, but I can't get it to display all the info from that category.eg. www.justanexample.com/page.php?vin=1001Do I have to make an xsl file for this page (page.php) to load the xml info that was clicked on the previous page?
