can not pass the variable!

[buraks78]

i am having a problem with retrieving a variable...

here is the first page. the variable i try to pass is $id.

            <form method="POST" onSubmit = "window.open('inquiry.php', 'tinyWindow','width=600,height=400,resizable=no');">
             <p align="center">
   				<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id?>">
              	<input type="submit" value="Send Inquiry" name="B1" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #000080; border: 1px solid #000080; padding-left: 4; padding-right: 4; padding-top: 1; padding-bottom: 1"></p>
            </form>

and here is the page in which i try to retrieve the variable

<?php
$id = $_POST["id"];
echo $id;
?>

however nothing shows up. the code is pretty simple but i dont have any idea about the problem.

can it be related to the java script i use in the firts page?

please help..

You should define the targeted page in the form tag

for example
<form method="post" target="next_page.php" onSubmit......>

You only opened the window on onSubmit, but not sending the form. Anyway jonsof was almost right there where you did not define the target for your form. Heres a working form for you:

 <form name="form" method="POST" action="inquiry.php" target="tinyWindow">
             <p align="center">
                   <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?=$id?>">
                  <input type="button" onClick="window.open('inquiry.php',  'tinyWindow','width=600,height=400,resizable=no');document.form.submit();" value="Send Inquiry" name="B1" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #000080; border: 1px solid #000080; padding-left: 4; padding-right: 4; padding-top: 1; padding-bottom: 1"></p>
            </form>
