Javascript Interaction

fnbcprog

Alright I have a real simple situation here and I just cant find any information on it...

What I am doing is a simple login page where the user enters a username and password to be validated by the same page with PHP.

What I want to do is if the user is not a super user I want to popup a window with on the title bar which shows the title of the page...But if the user is a super user I want to popup a new window with all attributes such as toolbar, statusbar, address bar, and all that good stuff?

I hope you can help me with this one.

use somethnig like this as your javascript functino to open the popup window:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function popUp(URL, ID, level){
  if (level == "superuser"){
    win = window.open(URL, ID, 'toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,location=1,statusbar=1,menubar=1,resizable=1,width=620,height=400,left=10,top=10');
  }else{
    win = window.open(URL, ID, 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=620,height=400,left=10,top=10');
  }
-->
</SCRIPT>

then, simply pass the URL of the popup, along with the ID, or title bar name of the window, and the level (ie: superuser, or not). The if..else in the javascript function pops up a full window for superuser, or a restricted window for not.

Can I call this function before and HTML execution...because I am getting the user access level from a database query above all the html?

sorry- maybe that wasn't quite clear...the funcitno ISN'T a PHP function, rather, it's javascript, so you woul djust put it somewher eeither in the head of the html document, or in the body...then, in your PHP, you need to put insomething that executes the javascript function....so once the username and password have been validated:

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE `username`='$username' && `password`='$password');
$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);

print "<script language=\"javascript\">\n<!--\npopUp('".$result['target_url']."', '".$result['page_title']."', '".$result['user_status']."' )\n--></script>";
