if "something" isset Open a link in a popup window.... HOW?

cubax

Hello,
I have a PHP script that checks if a value is different from "NULL":

If ($delete !=""){

}

If $delete is set I need to open up a new page in a popup window.

Ideas?

THX!

Well, PHP can't open a new browser window. You need something client side, such as JavaScript.

<html><head><title>Stuff</title>
<script>
function openwin() {
 window.open("newpage.htm");
}
</script>
</head>

if(!$delete) echo '<body onload="javascript:openwin()">';
else echo '<body>';

There are other things you can do with window.open, but this should get you started.

It works.
Is there a way for hiding tollbars, BUttons and so on in the new window?
I would also specify the window size.

Thank yuou very much!!

It does not work!
This is my link where i want to point to:
delete_users.php?&delete=$row->id&name=$row->first_name&surname=$row->last_name

As you can see there are variables there....
If I do it as you said those won't be threated like variables....
Just like text! 🙁

How??

<html><head><title>Stuff</title>
<script>
function openwin() {
 window.open("<?php echo "delete_users.php?&delete=$row->id&name=$row->first_name&surname=$row->last_name";?> ");
}
</script>
</head>

if(!$delete) echo '<body onload="javascript:openwin()">';
else echo '<body>';

Hiding toolbars and buttons are other things you can do with window.open. http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/98/03/index3a_page5.html?tw=programming
