[RESOLVED] I can't get passed variables...

joshmpratt

I am creating this link on a page (the variables are being called correctly, I can tell when i see where the link leads when I put my mouse over it). However, I can't seem to get the passed variables on the edit page. Here's the code to make the link:

echo '<a href="edit.html?id=' . $id . '&slotname=' . $slotname[$n] . '&action=edit" target="name" onclick="window.open(\'edit.html\',\'name\',\'height=500,width=500,toolbar=yes,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no\'); return false;">';

.
.
.

I've tried using the

echo $_GET['id']; but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Because its edit.html not edit.php.

joshmpratt

No. I've got it set up on my server to have .html files parse php. That is not the problem.

It might be to do with the fact that it's a popup window rather than a main window but I don't know why.

Does it work if you paste the link into the main browser window

Ahh. I tried pasting the link in the browser, and it did work.

So, with this discovered, is there a way that I can pass variables like that to a new and resized window? I guess that it isn't necessary, but it would be nice to have...

thorpe

Try this...

echo '<a href="#" target="name" onclick="window.open(\'edit.html?id=' . $id . '&slotname=' . $slotname[$n] . '&action=edit\',\'name\',\'height=500,width=500,toolbar=yes,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no\'); return false;">';

thorpe's answer should do it - looks like you're passing the variables to the page in the main browser window, but not the javascript pop-up.

ahh. Thanks for that! Now I get it...
