Picture in side box gives download

[Infinity_ends]

If anyone could help me with all or any part of this I would be most grateful.

 

I have made a new box in the righthand column of my site where I wish to place a picture, which when clicked, will download a pdf file. or if that is not possible, take you to a pop up html page where you can down load a pdf file. (I'm not wanting people to pay for this download)

 

Firstly I don't know how to put a picture in there, how do I put a link on a picture and thirdly can I make the picture be a download button.

heres the stripped code for a picture link, just direct it to your pdf and it will automatically download/open it...place your values in place of the sample values and put it in your box script

Thanks for the swift reply Jemlin1.

 

I tried doing what you said, but I can't have gotten it right. it errors. Even though you mae it so clear. Here's the code I used, can you see what I did wrong.

 

 

?>

<!-- information //-->
         <tr>
           <td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'Catalogue PDF');

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'Click on the picture to download a PDF file of the Quintessence Catalogue.');
<A HREF='http://www.quintessencepublishing.co.uk/images/quintcat.pdf'>
<IMG SRC='http://www.quintessencepublishing.co.uk/images/catalog_pdf.jeg' ALT='PDF Catalogue' WIDTH='100' HEIGHT='139'></A>
 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
           </td>
         </tr>
<!-- information_eof //-->

It's not the fact that I typed jep where I should have typed jpeg, I have corrected that now.

 

the error message I got was

 

Parse error: parse error in D:\websites\quintessencepublishing.co.uk\wwwroot\catalog\includes\boxes\downloadit.php on line 20

You can't place HTML in PHP like that.

 

try

 

 $info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'Click on the picture to download a PDF file of the Quintessence Catalogue.');
echo("<A HREF='http://www.quintessencepublishing.co.uk/images/quintcat.pdf'>
<IMG SRC='http://www.quintessencepublishing.co.uk/images/catalog_pdf.jeg' ALT='PDF Catalogue' WIDTH='100' HEIGHT='139'></A>");
new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
