Passing info back to the same screen

noccz

I am using PHP v 3.0.15 on a linux server running RedHat 6.22 and Apache 1.3.12.

We have internet screens which access an OpenLDAP 1.2.9 database. One of these screens has a form which enquires on user input parameters, another browser window is opened and displays the results.
Once this second window has been opened all resulting enquiries go to this screen, but it remains in the background and users are unaware where their answer is.

Is it possible to amend my script, that the results overwrite the original enquiry screen?

Here is the code which displays the result if only 1 matching entry is found:

    $ds=ldap_connect("localhost");  // must be a valid LDAP server!

    if ($ds)
       {
            $r=ldap_bind($ds);

            $sr=ldap_search($ds,"dc=cca,dc=cz",$PARAM);

            $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);

            ldap_close($ds);

// echo " Poèet vybraných záznamù : ".$info["count"]."<br>";

            if ($info["count"]=="0")
                    {

hi tony,
I am working on a telecom problem related to the properties of IE and netscape....the problem is that :we have a product whose webpage when opened in netscape and resized goes to the default i.e. blank.html and the data is lost .one would have to redo the whole thing.The case is not so for IE .Can u help me with some code which can take care that whenever the page is resized the previous records are retrieved and no data is lost.
thanx and regards,
Sujoy

Anon

sorry this is not a solution to ur problem but can u give an answer to my query?

kparker

Sorry, I don't see anything here that asks the browser to display in a specific named window, so your results should already be doing as you desire. Perhaps there's something in the part of the code you didn't post here?

Thanks Kirk,¨

I will look at my earlier coding. If you have time I have attached a copy of all the code for this screen.

I apologise if the way I have coded it is basic, but I am new to PHP.

Hi sujoy,

The problem I experienced when designing my pages was different to yours.

My problem was with IE resizing the page and subsequently the design of my form.

The problem was caused by me not coding in /p at the end of each line.

For Netscape it didn't matter, but IE was more fussy and required this coding to be present.

I don't know if this is of any help.

Tony
