Local Webserver Troubles

Anon

Let me start by saying I had to do a clean install of win2000 and re-installed....
IIS from the 2000 disk, PHP executable, and the MYSQL executable both from the source site.

I'm coding a page with a list of data

Each row of data has a link to a smaller pop up page with the ID of that row as a result lookup for a query in the smaller page

Its not working on my local machine, it used to work before and it works when I uploaded it to my server.

Its just not working right on the local machine, which is what I do all my developing on. Does anyone have any idea why a pop up window wouldn't work on my local IIS?

thank you all!!

here is the code I'm using...

in the MAIN page:
<a href="#" onClick="window.open('news_link.php?newsid=<? echo $pid ?>',
'Max','toolbar=no,width=425,height=350,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');return false">Full Story</a>

now I view source and see that the field is populated correctly with the right ID number

the POPUP page:
include ("includes/functions.php");

$result = query_db("select * from news where id = $newsid");

$num_rows = mysql_numrows($result);

crusty_php

I don't see any code here that would display anything:

include ("includes/functions.php");

$result = query_db("select * from news where id = $newsid");

$num_rows = mysql_numrows($result);

but there is code that echos a couple fields and when I hard code the ID number in the MYSQL select statement everything works fine but when I do it dynamically its failing my my local comp
