pop-up form population?

[flashmania]

I know you can do this in javascript using the window.opener. Can PHP do something similar? What I want to do is have the user click a link which opens up a popup window with additional form fields. When finished updating child form elements the parent form is populated with the new values.

Can it be done or should I stick with good ol' javascript?

i dont think php can do that, because php works only at server side, while javascript at client side

The only way I know how is to have PHP write your javascript function into the page to be return to the client.

Actually, what would happen is YOU would, will write the script then have your PHP code include the file based on some condition.
