post then pop window

zoobie

Need to post $file_name in the js below to video.php then pop up a defined window with the video. I think I did this once but can't find it.

Thanks

main.php

<script type="text/javascript">
function submit()
{
var wind = window.open("video.php?filename=" + document.form1.file_name.value , "", "toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes, width=350, height=350");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class='cell_l'>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="video.php">
<input type="hidden" name="file_name" value="bob_nick.wmv">
<img class="thumb" src="img/bob_nick.jpg" onClick="submit();"></form>
</div>

video.php

<?php

$file_name = $_POST["file_name"];

echo '<html>
<body style="background-color: #000000; text-align:center">
<object
classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95">
<param name="FileName" value="videos/$file_name">
<param name="showstatusbar" value="1">
<param name="controltype" value="1">
<param name="showcontrols" value="1">
<param name="AutoStart" value="1">
</object>
</body>
</html>';

?>

main.php 


$file_name = $_POST["file_name"]; 

<script>
window.open("video.php?filename="<? echo $file_name ?> "" toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes, width=350, height=350"); 

</script>

<body> 
<div class='cell_l'> 
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"> 
<input type="hidden" name="file_name" value="bob_nick.wmv"> 
<img class="thumb" src="img/bob_nick.jpg" onClick="submit();"></form> 
</div>

Instead of posting to video.php, post to the same page, and then open the windows from there.

The script doesnt have to be in the head, it will just execute when it gets to it ini the page.

But the original problem was that you posted 'filename' and checked for 'file_name'
