Javascript and php

[Anon]

hello everyone!!!
I have a problem.
I have an html page, with a hidden input.
when the user clicks on a link a javascript runs creating (a small window) a new form page and passing the value of the hidden input to the new created page.
this new page is actually a form that the user has to fill in.
on submiting the form a php script is called sending an email to me, and closing this small window the javascript has created.
The problem is that the characters i receive with the email is unreadable. this is the charset i use:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">.

I tried this new window to be created with php and not to have javascript anywhere but i don't know if i can remove the toolbar, location etc, like i do with javascript.

Can anyone help with this one?

try removing the charset=""

second, you would need to use javascript to popup a window as it is client side not server side.

I did something similar to what you are explaining except with a 5 part survey form with each part in a popup window. I used sessions to pass the variables into their session and upon master submit it takes all of the variables and mails them to me or whomever i specify. this seems to work well

You almost don't have to change anything. What I suggest you could do, would be to submit the form in the new window to a PHP-script which then could head(er) over to a "thankyou"-page if you want to.

As DKode writes, you need javascript to pop up the window and such. You just have to remember this :

"PHP is serverside - and can make whatever content you can do yourself in a HTML-page."

So PHP is not going to take care of opening windows with or without toolbars, alertboxes or whatever - that's all up to you by using to PHP to generate the ness. code.

Happy coding!
