Scrolling News
am 22.12.2005 21:38:58 von Alex Major
Hi there.
I'm trying to make a scrolling news box for my website. Basically I would
like this news box to get information from a column in my database called
'news_title' and display it in a scrolling news box.
The reason I'd like it to do this is because there is already a news page on
my website, which stores 'news_date' , 'news_poster' , 'news_title' ,
'news_description' , 'news_content' in a table on my database. I'd just like
to increase the functionality of this by having this news box on my front
page, which scrolls the 'news_title'.
Any suggestions for how to go about doing this? I'm still very new to php.
Regards,
Alex.

Hi,
just to tell you scrolling text boxes are javascript, PHP is server side no=
t
client side, PHP can only get the data from the table and javascript will
display it

If you're thinking about a scroller (which is what I think you're hinting at),
you'll need to combine javascript and PHP. Essentially this is how I'd go
about it:
1. Find a scrolling news box written in Javascript.
2. Where the static content is, rewrite it so that PHP writes out the
Javascript.

Sounds great, I'll start looking for a scroller on google.
Anyone have any recommendations while I'm searching?

Alex

If you want an easy way of letting text scroll, use
