Send php variables to a newpop up window

[Anon]

I´m trynig to send variables from a PHP file to a Javascript pop up window , and I haven't been able to make it work...

Does anybody know how to do it??

I need my $variable to be sent from a PHP file to another PHP wich gets open in a new pop up window (Javascript pop up window.... is it phisible to open a new window with PHP by the way?) when clicking a button.

I'm going nuts with this!!!

Thanks in advance !!

is it viable to pass the variable as a URL var. to the new windows?

ex: when you call your popup windows script add the $var as a URL variable
popupwin('test.php?$var');

Add a query string to the popup's URL giving values to the variables (note, omit $):

script.php3?a=1&b=test&c=foo

will pass $a, $b and $c to script.php3 when it is parsed.

You can't "open a popup in PHP"; what you do is emit the code to open one on the client browser. e.g.:

<?
$var = "abcd";
echo "<script> window.open('script.php3?var=",rawurlencode($var),"','title'); </script>";
?>

(This also passes the $var variable into script.php3, which is parsed to generate the popup's contents. rawurlencode() correctly escapes special characters - such as space, & itself, etc - which might be in $var.)
