I'm still not sure what you are asking.

You are trying to take a set of smaller images, insert them into a larger image, then use that image as a client-side HTML imagemap?

I have a table like this:

NAME POS_X POS_Y
station1 34 65
station2 64 83
station3 26 61

And I have a image of a map. I want to put jpeg or gif image in the position(pos_x, pos_y), with the name down, of each station.
When I click in a station image, this will open php script, that receive the name of the station that is choice and show others datas about this.

I would first verify that your PHP installation supports the image manipulation functions.

Then you're going to have to create two scripts, one to generate the image, the other to generate the HTML page on which the image and its imagemap will reside.


In the image creation scripot, you're going to have to perform the various database fetches to get the workstation image information.

Then you're going to have to use imagecreatefromjpeg() (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromjpeg.php)

to open the various image files.

Then use imagecopymerge() (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopymerge.php)

to place the workstation images into the map.

Then use imagejpeg() (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagejpeg.php)

to output the combined image.


Then in the HTML output script you're going to have to fetch the workstation data again to be able to output the HTML image mapping tags.
