PHP Based Test of Getting Website Info and Thumbnails Dynamically Using One Link Per URL

To learn the most from these 6 test pages, first test each of the test scripts below, and then read the Info on each of these tests.

Note the websnapr.js JavaScript script and websnapr.css CSS stying files loaded in before the action starts. These are Websnapr's files to support their pop-up thumbnail scripts. Note also the attribution giving credit where credit is due—THEY created the automatic pop-up thumbnails scripts, not us. For more on getting website info and thumbnails dynamically see INFO on test1.php: getting website info dynamically and INFO on test2.php: getting website thumbnails dynamically.

This test shows the viability of the Websnapr system to give thumbnail pop-ups and the use of the various PHP functions to get info dynamically from websites, on the fly. However, it also shows what a script catfight looks like! The way the page reloads and script conflicts occur make it obvious that even though the link hovering produces the correct script functioning, there HAS to be a better way! Happily, there is. Keep reading about the next 3 tests.

Note that the final HTML code below is the displaying of the links themselves. This test page worked to prove that getting website info and thumbnails dynamically—on the fly—is viable. If this was a regular website directory, it would of course be using MySQL databases and other elements of the CMS configuration protocol, not a few sample links. It would of course be faster to store your own thumbnails rather than relying on a service. But free is free!
