text in new window

[Anon]

Hey there,

have a question: I read some entries out of a mysql-db. In every one of them there is some text included that I want to be shown in a new window. I tried using javascript, but that didn't work. I just want a link in that is included in every entry to open an new window with the text in it that has the same id as the rest of the whole entry? Is there a way to realize that with php4?

Example: All those pages that have source code stored in a database and that give you an overview bevor you see the actual code.

Thanks,

Jon

Jonathan,

I think this is what you are after:

The link:

<a href="javascript:window.open('newpage.php3?id=<? echo $id; ?>','new')">Link to new window</a>

In the new page:

$query = mysql_query("SELECT text FROM table WHERE id=$id");

$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);

print $result["text"];

Hope this helps
