[PHP] Opening new browser window
I would like to open a new browser window from within my php script (edit.php), a window in which another php page is run (search.php). search.php should be able to receive $_POST vars etc. from edit.php. I am not sure that the javascript solution to popup a window is correct, because then the popup does not behave normally. By normally, I mean that when I use javascript to popup a new window (search.php), and in search.php I have a form form action=searchAction.php method=post input type=hidden name=caller value=window.opener.location.href input type=hidden name=ID value=? $_GET['ID'] ? input type=hidden name=Type value=? $type? input type=button name=btnOKvalue=OK input type=button name=btnCancel value=Cancel /form clicking OK or Cancel does absolutely nothing. So, I would like to avoid javascript and simply open a new browser window to run search.php. What is the accepted way to do this in php? tia, Rich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Opening new browser window
And if you are not in a form? My current code is: a href=search.php onClick=return popup(this, 'Industry','?ID=$companyIDType=Industry') img src=images/Plus.gif /a where popup is my javascript function. But as I said below, the popup doesn't work as expected and I do not want to use javascript. I can also not be in a form. Suggestions?

By normally, I mean that when I use javascript to popup a new window (search.php), and in search.php I have a form form action=searchAction.php method=post input type=hidden name=caller value=window.opener.location.href window is a javascript object and so you should be calling some javascript function to set the value here, something like body onload = setvalue() script document.form.caller.value=window.opener.location.href; /script input type=hidden name=ID value=? $_GET['ID'] ? input type=hidden name=Type value=? $type? input type=button name=btnOKvalue=OK input type=button name=btnCancel value=Cancel /form clicking OK or Cancel does absolutely nothing. So, I would like to avoid javascript and simply open a new browser window to run search.php. What is the accepted way to do this in php? btnOK and btnCancel are not instructed to do anything when clicked and so there's nothing wrong they are doing! what work these two buttons are supposed to do? I assume 1. btnOK is to post the data to server? in that case, you should have it as button=submit or an onClick=javascript function()? 2. btnCancel is to close the window and go back to the parent page? in that case also, you should have a onClick function.

Re: [PHP] Opening new browser window
Why use a javascript to create a new window? Any link can be directed to a new window with a simple target=. a href=search.php?ID=$companyIDType=Industry target=Industry Industry would be the reference name of the window. For instance, if you wanted to refer to it from another window. PHP is server side, all it does is serve up a resulting page to a client. The client has no idea that PHP is being used, nor does it care. To answer your question you can't do it in PHP, but you can do it using HTTP, HTML and/or Javascript.

[PHP] Opening new browser window.
Is there anyway that I can open a new browser window in php, like you are able to do in JavaScript (window.open()). I have had a look around and can't find any information on how this can be done.
