G'day All,

I need some help with some PHP scripting, I will try to make my request as simple as possible.

Basically what I'm after is to have a folder full of flag images located on my server and I will have a script that will insert some basic data into the database I can do this fine, but what I need help with is a script that will allow me to display a flag if say the user puts in 43 this equals this flag image. Basically if they put in 43 into one of the fields where they are supposed to put a number it displays the australian flag.

Can someone please help me with this, if you still don't understand what I'm after please add me to msn and I will try to explain this a little better.

Here's an example of a dynamic version using a MySQL database.
The table has a field for the unique ID of the flag, and then a field for the flag's name.

// Connection assumed
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `flags` WHERE `id` = ".(int)$_POST['field']) or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows() > 0){
  $result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);

  // Make the path to the flag image
  $flag_img = '/flags/'.$result['name'].'.gif';
}
else{
  echo 'Sorry, invalid flag code.';
}

nevermind guys....sorted this out over msn





just made a function that reads the directory, shuvs all flags into an array, and then u feed it a number, it will pull that number as the key from the array and return the flag image
