Daniel, I think there is some confusion in your scripts about what is done on
the client side and what is done on the server side.
I'll try to explain it :
- client side you have the Jmol applet embedded in a html page (the html code
may have been created through php, in the end it's always html from the client
perspective). The user through javascripts can interact with the web page, with
the applet and create a view that you may want to save.
To save the view, you want to interact with the server.
- server side : you have a php script that receives different requests (for
example a state script through a form element) and sends an html page (or other
kind of files/texts,etc...)
So, the first thing you have to decide is when and how your user keeps a state
of what he is doing. There are several options there. The simplest might be to
click on a submit button that would trigger your next php page.
But when the user clicks on submit, you want that the value attached to the
submit button or to an invisible input element is updated with the value of the
state script.
For example, your HTML could look like
<form method="put">
<input type="hidden" value="" name="my_script" id="my_hidden_field" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit !"
onclick="document.getElementById('my_hidden_field').value=jmolGetPropertyAsString('stateInfo')"/>
</form>
Then in your php you can access to the state script with $REQUEST['my_script']
An other option might be to use an ajax library to save the different states
the user gets on the first page, before loading the next page. I made something
like that with a kind of snapshot widget that saves states in a webpage that
could be recalled from an other webpage. If you're interested and don't mind
french you can have a look at the following link :
http://librairiedemolecules.education.fr/outils/minuscb/app/minusc.htm If you
click on "Clichés", you activate that snapshot function. Each "Cliché" triggers
the saving of a statescript + image in a database, and can be accessed from the
"export" feature (it's a prototype, I haven't pushed it further). In your case,
you could save the state script in a php session variable to find these back on
your subsequent page.
