how to create a simple window

[scorpioy]

I have a table that contains various items, by clicking on one item, I want it to retrieve something from mysql and display it to the user, but I only know how to show it in a normal window.

Could someone tell me how to use PHP to create a simple window (like some popup window) that has no standard buttons, address bar, link, etc? I think this would be quicker to show the retrieved information to the user, right?

Thanks.

Well, that's impossible. PHP is server-side, windows are client-side. What you want is JavaScript. Try Googling for "JavaScript popup tutorial".

Yes, and it is still possible to execute some PHP in the newly-opened windows if needed.

Use

window.open('yourpage.php','title','menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,statusbar=no, width=X,height=Y');
