PHP call to Javascript

paulkenn

I'm new at PHP, checked the forums but couldn't find an exact answer to my question...here goes.

I have created a php page which displays the results of a database query. One of the lines of php code generates a link so that one of the records can be selected for editting...here's the code:

while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
print "\t<tr align=left>\n";
print "\t\t<td>";
print $line["clientl"];
print "</td>\n\t\t<td>";
print $line["clientf"];
print "</td>\n\t\t<td>";
print $line["client_id"];
print "</a></td>\n\t\t<td>";
print $line["co"];
print "</td>\n\t\t<td>";
print $line["city"];
print "</td>\n\t\t<td align=center>";
print $line["state"];
print "</td>\n\t\t<td><a href='client_frmEdit.php?idx=";
print $line["client_id"];
print "'>Edit client</a></td>\n";
print "\t</tr>\n";

The 4th from the last line is the line in question. I want to have that link launch a popup window containing the data for editting. I would like to do this using javascript:

Where do I put this javascript? and how do I link to it.

Any help is really appreciated!!

edit This works:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function openpopup(popUrl,winName,features){
	window.open(popUrl,"",features)
}
//-->
</script>
<?php
$filePre = '../forms/client_frmEdit.php';
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
?>
  <tr align="left">
	<td><font size="2"><?php echo  $line["clientl"]; ?></font></td>
	<td><font size="2"><?php echo $line["clientf"]; ?></font></td>
	<td><font size="2"><?php echo $line["client_id"]; ?></font></td>
	<td><font size="2"><?php echo $line["co"]; ?></font></td>
	<td><font size="2"><?php echo $line["city"]; ?></font></td>
	<td align="center"><font size="2"><?php echo $line["state"]; ?></td>
	<td><a href="#" onClick="openpopup('<?php echo $filePre . '?idx='. $line['client_id']; ?>','','width=435,height=630,scrollbars=yes');">
	<font size="2">Edit client</font></a></td>
  </tr>
<?php
} // end while loop.
?>

You won't find much in the way of solutions to Javascript problems in a PHP forum.
