dreaddlord

hi guys...

how can i add a pop window for the this code?

i want to customize the new window and specify the location in the screen...

index.php
<var newwindow;
function Poptastic(url)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=400,width=200');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}

<a href='javascript😛optastic('./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."');'>$variable1</a>

page2.php
<?php
$variable3 = $_GET['variable2];
echo "your name is: ".$variable3;
?>

what is wrong with the code? i got a parse error when i open the page....

kindly give suggestions...
thanks

thorpe

your missing a '

<?php 
$variable3 = $_GET['variable2']; 
echo "your name is: ".$variable3; 
?>

Is this a typo or you really wrote it this way:

<a href='java script:Poptastic('./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."');'>$variable1</a>

' and " number is way wrong...

It should be something like:

<a href="javascript:Poptastic('./page2.php?variable2=<?php echo $variable1; ?>');">$variable1</a> 
//If this is not between php escape tags

echo "<a href=\"java script:Poptastic('./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."');\">".$variable1."</a>"; 
//If this is between php escape tags

Try them along with thorpe's tip...

thanks for the your replies...

i've tried it but i got page error....

is it possible to use javascript in a php file?

SBro

Yes it is possible, what is the error you are getting?

dreaddlord

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in line #...

can you please help me solve my problem...

SBro

Post the line that the error refers to and a couple of lines before it.

dreaddlord

echo "<td bgcolor=\"#99ccff\"><a href=\"javascript:wadminpop('./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."');\"><font face=Arial
size=2>$variable1</font></a></td>";

this is the line of code that says there is an error... m just a beginner here that's why i don't know where did i go wrong...

hope you coudl help..thanks a lot

SBro

Nothing wrong that I can see with that line, please post the previous few lines before that one.

dreaddlord

this is the javascript....

SBro..thanks for the reply...
i also think there's nothing wrong with the code however i got an error...

are there other things i have to check

SBro

You need to post the php code not the javascript code. It will be a simple error, but I can't tell you until I see the php code that is before the line:

echo "<td bgcolor=\"#99ccff\"><a href=\"javascript:wadminpop('./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."');\"><font face=Arial

dreaddlord

Here is the sample code...but i really wanted to customize the popupwindow..so i was thinking of using javascript..however i just could not make it work

index4.php
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<table>
<body>

<?php
$variable1='dreaddlord';
$variable2=$variable1;
echo "<a target='_blank' href='./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."'>$variable1</a>";
?>

</body>
</table>
</html>

page2.php
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Page 2</title>
</head>

</body>
</html>

SBro

Where has the code gone? you originally said the error was reported as being on line:

echo "<td bgcolor=\"#99ccff\"><a href=\"java script:wadminpop('./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."');\"><font face=Arial...

but in the code you just posted there is no "<td bgcolor=...>' I assume that was in this part of the code you posted.

echo "<a target='_blank' href='./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."'><font face=Arial size=2>$variable1</a>";

As your code sits now, there is no error on index4.php have you tried it again? are you still getting errors?

you should also know that for your html code, the <table></table> tags go in between the <body></body> tags.

dreaddlord

yep sorry for changing the codes...

but actually this is the original codes that i have made just for testing the pop up window... as you can see i just use the _blank for opening a new window...however i wanted to use javascript....but i wasn't successful on that..... can you show me how to do it in javascript?

SBro

This is a simple way to open a new popup window.

<script language="JavaScript">
 <!--
 function mypopup($url)
 {
   mywindow = window.open ($url, "mywindow","location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1, width=400,height=300");
 } 
 //-->
 </script>

<?php
echo '<a href="javascript:mypopup(\'test.php\')">here</a>';
?>

dreaddlord

yep thanks...i was able to do that and another concern is how to pass the content of the variable....???

i am passing here the variable1 to variable to and upon clicking on the hyperlink variable2 is pass to page2.php... how can i do that using javascript...???

<?php
$variable1='dreaddlord';
$variable2=$variable1;
echo "<a target='_blank' href='./page2.php?variable2=".$variable1."'>$variable1</a>";
?>
