open New window

hingis_rules

How do you open a new window to display an image?

I have the line

<h3 align="center"> See your photo <a href="<? echo "$path.$uploadedfile"; ?>">here</a></p>

that works and does display the image in the current window. I'm trying to have the image displayed in a new window.

I treid creating a window with window.open() and set the <img src="<? echo $path.$uploadedfile";?>">, but I just get the small red X shown instead of the image.

thanks

actually, target="_top" will open it in the same window, breaking out of frames if there are any.

You could use JS, like anne suggested, or use target="_blank"

Thanks for the suggestions and code!

Just another quick question.
I can't figure out why this

if(file_exists($uploadedfile))
{
echo $uploadedfile." already exists. Please choose another file.";
exit();
}

doesn't work. The first time i ran the script, I uploaded a file named "Fort_1.JPG" which i knew didn't exist on the server. Had no problems. The next time I ran the script and tried to upload the same "Fort_1.JPG" file I didn't get the "already exist..." message, I got the "File has successfully been uploaded." message.

Is my logic wrong?

Thanks again for the great code anne!!

One quick question about the new window that displays the picture. Is it possible to set up a button to have that window close when its clicked?

why dont you use a javascript instead?

put that in the head and then creata a link like this:

<a href="JavaScript: openWindow1('ViewPM.php?DisplayWhat=variable')">click me</a>

its what i use for my site, edit it how you please.
You need to remove the space between javascript: and open (the forum creates a smilie otherwise!)

Why use javascript for something so simple?

clandestine555 almost had it right... it should be this:

About your file upload problem, you're not calling the file name correctly. When you upload a file, the <input type="file" name="somefile"> creates an array called $_FILES['somefile']. Rather than explain it all, just read this page on php.net: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
