Topic Unknown, Order of Operations

Saeven

Hi,

I would like to have a page do two things.

First would be to open a second page in a small window. Perhaps using script. Second, wait a few seconds until a given session variable is in ( or not ).

Without testing it, this is what I came up with thinking it would work:

<?php

echo "<script>window.open('login.php','Login','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no, scrollbars=no,".
     "resizable=yes,width=300,height=125,left=100,top=50')</script>";

Waiting for login...

$i = 30;

while( $i > 0 ){
	sleep( 5 );

	if( isset( $SESSION['current customer'] ) )
		echo '<script>window.location="index.php"</script>';

	$i -= 5;
}

echo "<br><br><br><center>Login was not successful.</center>";

sleep( 10 );
echo '<script>window.location="index.php"</script>';

?>
</body>
</html>

However, all this does is wait, and then when it redirects it opens the page in a little window. How do I get it to respect order of operations?

Thanks
Alex

When something changes in your popup window, you should reload the previous page with the appropriate parameter.

1)
Page is access with page.php
You display Waiting for login
and you popup your login window.

2)
When the user submits the login form in the new window, you reload the original page with a different parameter as follows ( js. )

window.opener.location.href = 'page.php?checkLogin=1';
window.close( );
