Making a slide show

Hello dudes...

i got me a problem...

For a school project, i have to make a site containing a database full of pictures... thats not the problem... now the guy who gave us the assignment wants to have an option to make a slide show with the pictures from the database.... PLUS he needs to be abled to save it somewhere, and open it on another computer.... maybe powerpoint or something?

im working with PHP and mySQL... so if anyone here knows how to do that ill worship him for the rest of my life

thx in advance

A slideshow of images in PHP is no problem, you could just cycle through the records in your database with next and prev buttons. If you want it to cycle through automaticly, you just echo a meta refresh tag in your header (ie. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://yournewURL">)

Now that could be a problem.

Does your teacher just want to be able to view the slideshow offline without a server? If so, the only solution I can see is to generate a bunch of static pages with your php script, one for each image.

In terms of automaticly importing the images into a PowerPoint file, it might be possible, but would probably take some really impressive combination of PHP, VBscript and text files. If you decide to go that route, I can only wish you luck (if you do find a PowerPoint import solution, I would be really interested to hear about it).

Hope this helps

How about just creating a powerpoint file from the beginning and just uploading that to the site. Powerpoint files can be viewed by in IE from a website.
