Hi!

I have to create a popup window with PHP and pass a mysql result toi it, is it possible?

Anon

I don't think that's possible in PHP (unless you can write some function to do it).

Have you thought about using Javascript to do this? I think that is pretty easy to do in JS. In fact, I'm also looking to do just that for a form I'm working on.

<<(unless you can write some function to do it)>>
And how should this function work ? Sounds really intresting 🙂

Well for the PopUp Window you need of course good ol' JS, something like:

window.open('yourSQLscript.php','SQLResults','');

should do the trick, just open the script that queries your db in a new browser window. BTW the last parameter of the window.open() you can use for finetuning (size, scrollbars etc.).

Hope that helped

It's best to use a javascript for this.

Use this line to call a JS function called openWin:

Here's the function with a bunch of options.

function openWin(url, name) {
popupWin = window.open(url, name, "menubar=no,resizable=no,alwaysRaised=yes,scrollbars,left=400,top=50,sceenX=300,screenY=200,width=530,height=500");
windowIsOpen = "true";
popupWin.focus();

}

Hope this works for you.

Probably,

would i be possible to do this in your code
javascript:

window.open('myscript.php?id=123');

then in myscript.php do all the database access? just a thought.

Anon

exactly!
just pass the the bit of information you need for your query to the window, and query the db in the popup window OR if you cant do that, just use sessions and you only need to transfer the session id via the url ...
