Hi...

when I started off with PHP.. right up to the present, I've found it a lot easier to go from prewritten scripts which I then study and configure when I need to, to come up with what I require...

There are a whole bunch of sites out there that allow you to do this... one of the best I've founf so far is:

php.resourceindex.com

I actually started using the resources there when I was only doing HTML and using a whole lot of JavaScript... then I noticed that Javascript is interpreted by different machines differently... so I looked out for an alternative to HTML that would offer me greater interaction.. so I did some research.. and came up with PHP and ASP... looking out a bit more.. there seemed to be a whole lot more free PHP hosts than ASP... so I dived right into PHP.. well I haven't really dived in much.. but as a hobby I've spent a good deal of time getting my logic and understanding in place...

a few other resource sites you may look at are:
http://www.free-php.net/
http://www.phpjunkyard.com/
http://www.scriptdownloads.com/
http://www.hotscripts.com/ (This one's good)


All the best with PHP... you'll find it very functional, modular (you can create scripts that you just need to plug in where you need it)

thanks

Are you certain you want/need PHP to do this?. Maybe you are getting mixed up, perhaps you want to use CSS to make the menu you need. What do you want this menu to do exactly?

Also, you say you want images "at it"....did you mean in it? If so, then what you're looking for isn't with PHP, per se, but more along the lines of an image map, where you have a graphic with links to different things, that those links could be to PHP pages, but you don't necessarily need PHP to do it....or were you trying to say something else?

If you are knew to programming in general and dont know a lot of code, I know macromedia fireworks does this for you, with almost no effort at all...and I'm pretty sure photoshop does too...can anyone confirm that photoshop does this? I dont use it much, sorry. But if you are new to coding, I would advice you to take the fireworks or photoshop rout. Its 10x easier, and the menus look pretty good.

If you want to make menus just make an image like this for example :

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Image!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You first make an image like this then you use layers and draw a layer from point A to B and you put your links in there .

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Image!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|A Link |
| Link |
| Link |
| Link |
| Link |
|________Link_______B|

if you want to learn to draw layers and make graphics then i suggest to learn it from www.htmlgoodies.com . Hehe i love teaching !
