on my php website i would like to be able to configure my fading text box which changes sentances every few seconds. but i have no idia how todo this with phpmy admin, so far i can add things to the navigation bar and news bar extremely easily through phpmy admin but im totaly lost for the fader since its written in javascript. does anyone know the code i have to enter to make this access mysql?


Here is the javscrip code:

/*
Fading Scroller- By DynamicDrive.com
For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and TOS,
visit */

var delay=500 //set delay between message change (in miliseconds)
var fcontent=new Array()
begintag='' //set opening tag, such as font declarations
fcontent[0] = "Eya"
fcontent[1] = "This flesh is a tomb"
fcontent[2] = "get off my haribo"
closetag=''

var fwidth=140 //set scroller width
var fheight=140 //set scroller height

///No need to edit below this line/////////////////

var ie4=document.all&&!document.getElementById
var ns4=document.layers
var DOM2=document.getElementById
var faderdelay=0
var index=0

if (DOM2)
faderdelay=2000
//function to change content
function changecontent(){
if (index>=fcontent.length)
index=0
if (DOM2){
document.getElementById("fscroller").style.color="rgb(255,255,255)"
document.getElementById("fscroller").innerHTML=begintag+fcontent[index]+closetag
colorfade()
}
else if (ie4)
document.all.fscroller.innerHTML=begintag+fcontent[index]+closetag
else if (ns4){
document.fscrollerns.document.fscrollerns_sub.document.write(begintag+fcontent[index]+closetag)
document.fscrollerns.document.fscrollerns_sub.document.close()
}

index++
setTimeout("changecontent()",delay+faderdelay)
}

// colorfade() partially by Marcio Galli for Netscape Communications. ////////////
// Modified by Dynamicdrive.com

frame=20;
hex=255 // Initial color value.

function colorfade() {
// 20 frames fading process
if(frame>0) {
hex-=12; // increase color value
document.getElementById("fscroller").style.color="rgb("+hex+","+hex+","+hex+")"; // Set color value.
frame--;
setTimeout("colorfade()",20);
}
else{
document.getElementById("fscroller").style.color="rgb(0,0,0)";
frame=20;
hex=255
}
}

if (ie4||DOM2)
document.write('<div id="fscroller" style="border:0px solid black;width:'+fwidth+';height:'+fheight+';padding:2px"></div>')

window.onload=changecontent



;im not sure its even possible i would b happy if som1 told me i i was wasting my time thanks
 
You would be better off asking this in the javascript forum
 
I'll say this much: You don't want every computer on the Internet to be connecting directly to your database.

Since you're using PHP, your web server can write the strings to the fcontent array from the database as it creates the javascript code.
