passing form values

[zecarlos]

Hi,

i have a page with a form, that when i click on sibmit it will open a pop-up window.

The problem is that the pop-up window cant catch the values passed by the form.

Heres the code:

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="javascript:MM_openBrWindow('popup.php','','scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=600')">

<input type="hidden" name="var" value="125">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

</form>

Can someone help me...

</form>

Theres no space between java and script, its just "javascript".

Well thanks for the reply but the problem is not that.

he cant catch the values anyway

why not just use:

javascript:window.open('popup.php', '', 'scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=600')

??? That requires no function at all. try it.

You say the popup.php cant catch the values submitted? try using GET instead of POST.

[zecarlos]

Still not working.

I've already try GET and POST and nothing...

what about extract($_POST)?

[zecarlos]

in popup.php i have:

echo $var;

what should i have to catch the variables passed by the form?

[evo4ever]

You would use:

print $_GET["var"];

[saku]

if you post variables, you have to:
extract($_POST);
echo $var;

or

echo $_POST["var"];

I think this will not work because my php version is 4.0.6

Ok ive just quickly wrote up a script which gets the vars in a seperate form action when the main form has been submitted:

<?php
	if(isset($_GET["submit"]) == "Go")
	{
	print "<form action=\"javascript:window.open('catch.php?";

	foreach($_GET as $key => $val)
	{
		print $key."=".$val."&";
	}
print "', '', 'scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=600')\" method=\"get\">";
}
?>

<form action="throw.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="var">
<input type="text" name="var2">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go">
</form>

All you need do is create a small javascript which when the main form has been submitted it will auto submit the new form action, once it does that, your new window will be opened with the vars in the url.

To have a look at this in action go here: http://217.135.244.101/throw.php obviously you have replace the "Submit Query" button with a javascript which auto-submits the second form.

just a head-up:
$_GET does not exist in 4.0.x
use $HTTP_GET_VARS instead
