Unless you are running a *signed* JavaScript code you
can't just call an external program (security, anyone ?). If its
just for a intranet, just let your JS code get signed to gain
higher client side access privileges and you are done; else
bummer (at least, this way).
What you could do with normal client side JS is just reload the
opener window.
As far I unterstood, you have a main window with some kind of
listbox depending on database output. Under some circumstances, a
window pops up where the use can alter some data. Just when you
have the feeling, the user has entered/altered enough data to
update the listbox in the window which spawned the popup, force
to reload the page with syntax like
opener.location.href='same_url_again';
and your php script is called again, the db-data is fetched again
and you listbox is altered (hopefully).
