xyph Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This has very little to do with PHP, as most of what you want to happen is client-side. If you plan on adding more stores later, then using PHP along with the Google Maps API is probably your best bet. If you plan on having the 8 stores static, then why not just use an image editor, HTML image maps, and JavaScript to do what you want?

seanlim Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 As xyph mentioned, you'll probably want to use image maps. Just google for HTML image maps, and there are more than sufficient resources to get you started. As for the city turning red, I don't believe it's possible without javascript or any other client-side scripting. You might be able to pull it off with CSS but that might get very tricky. For the PHP portion, you will want to link each <AREA> to a specific city name. Possibly something like: <area href="stores.php?city=CityA">, <area href="stores.php?city=CityB">. And then, within stores.php, you will just need to retrieve the stores within the city $_GET['city']. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
