Scrolling Text

DropLister · 06-27-2005, 11:21 AM

I want to scroll dropping domain names on my site, and i want to be able to just add the domain names to a sql database or text file then with php or javascript call the text file and scroll each name one after the other on a loop. Im using marquee right now and adding them manually but thats real annoying. !pleH

im not too sure about php MySQL, but in asp i think you would probably use something like the following, maybe php would be similar?...
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/102217-scrolling-text.html

Code:

<MARQUEE>
<%
sql = "SELECT * FROM Domains";
domains = conn.Execute(sql);

while (!domains.EOF)
{
Response.Write(unescape(domains(0)))
domains.MoveNext();
}
%>
</MARQUEE>

i may be wrong though, im no expert

I'll assume that you already know how to enter info in a database, and how to construct a mysql database.

you can call it very easy:

<?

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dropping_names ORDER BY (optional to you)");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql) {

// output here..

}

?>

that's it. but, that involves how you want to order the domains, and how many you want to show on one page, you might need a basic navigation system. If you need let me know, I'll show you a tutorial for this which i use already on my coding.

Good luck.
