php var to java script var

DigitalExpl0it

How can I get a var from php and put it as a javascript var?

im not good with java...here is a popup script in java that works great but id like to pass some var's thru it..

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! [url]http://javascript.internet.com[/url] -->

<!-- Begin
function topWindow(){
popup = window.open("user.php?titlename=Tech Chat&name=$user","","height=400,width=640,scrollbars=yes");
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

here is how I execute the java

$user = "test";
<a href="javascript:topWindow()">smurfy2002</a>

now how can I submit a var like $name to that window?

if you look at the java script code there is this

user.php?titlename=Tech Chat&name=$user

how can I get $user to pass thru the link to the window..

yes but how would I get the var to the link then to the popup?

java script:topWindow()

can I do somthing like

java script:topWindow(<? echo $user; ?>)

You could; you would just need to change the JS function to handle that argument. But if all you want is to pass $user to user.php, then my first suggestion would work.

but it wont, since the var will be comming from the link with a java pop window function.

the link executes the function, so how can I get the var in the java funtions, there will be more links than just one,

humm here is the hole script

<!-- Begin
function topWindow(){
popup = window.open("user.php?titlename=Tech Chat&name=<?=$user ?>","","height=400,width=640,scrollbars=yes");

Oh, I see what you mean now. Then yeah, you can do what you suggested, just change the JavaScript function to accept that argument.

ok now I get it to post this as the link

javascript:topWindow(smurfy2002)

using this code

<a href="javascript:topWindow(<? echo $user; ?>)">

now thing is, I get an error saying that the what ever the var is, is the error since its not being defind hummm

DigitalExpl0it

ok I figured it out

<A href="javascript:pop_window('user.php?titlename=Tech Chat&user=<? echo $user; ?>')">smurfy2002 
            </a>

then in the header I did this

<script language="javascript">
 function pop_window(url) {
  var popit = window.open(url,'console','menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=640,height=480');
 }
</script>
