I belong to a website that has a members section and when you click on
a thumbnail to see the full size pic my user name is written down the
side of the pics .thus :- " Downloaded from ???.com by ????: date
??/??/????

How exactly do the site arrange this to be done as obviously it is
different for each and every member .?

Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to a file, a

an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet, and
FTP sites.

In Windows folders, hyperlinks are text links that appear in the folder's
left pane. You can click these links to perform tasks, such as moving or
copying a file, or to go to other places on your computer, such as the My
Documents folder or Control Panel.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain
pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be

OK.I understand what a Hyperlink is .Everyone uses them all the time
but what I am getting at is how does the website arrange for this text
to appear on the image when the full size image appears . The text
will be different for each member that clicks on a thumbnail as it
will show their username down the side as opposed to anyone elses .In
case I'm not making myself clear ( always possible) when the full size
images comes up down the left hand side it says
"Downloaded from www.***********.com by ********** 06- 05- 2007 "
the last part ********** being my user name that I sign in to the
website with .
If you save the image the text remains on the image .
 
Go to the website. To see how the web page is coded right click a blankspot
on the page and click View Source. Or Click on the View menu then Source.
Should open up in Notepad.

Hello,

The web operator probably uses a server-side script such as PHP to process
all images to insert the username footer in the.

Server side scripts have the ability to do this. With PHP, the GD library
can be used

Thx for that .Most of what that says is gobbledegook to me but now I
understand how they do it.

Tried that but nowhere in Source can I see any reference to anyhting
that included my username . I tried it in both the page with the
thumbnails and the page with the full size pic .
I even did a search in Source for my username but that didnt show
anyhting either .
 
Well, I cannot see the source at all and I am not going to guess.

E-mail the website and ask them, they may be proud enough to tell you what
the did. ;-)

I did ask and what they said was that it was a special script that
their Techies had written .
 
Well now, isn't that special. ;-)
