Re: [PHP] Reloading a specific window

[Marek Kilimajer]

1. you have the main window.
2. user clicks ADD, new windows pops up
3. user enters data into the new window, submits
4. action.php updates database and outputs:
        <script language="javascript">
        document.window.opener.reload()
        self.close();
        </script>
        <noscript>Close this window and reoad the main window</noscript>
   together with all necessery html stuff

This does not work, when I replace my header function with:

    .. database update, then...
    $ostr = <<< OUTPUT;
         <script language="javascript">
              document.window.opener.reload()
              self.parent.close();
         </script>
OUTPUT;
     echo $ostr;
     //header("Location: ".$_POST['CallingScript']."?ID=".$_POST['ID']);
     exit;
}
several things happen: the database update does not happen, the mainwindow
does not reload, and my form disappears from the popup frame and this frame
is blank.
I am probably doing something very stupid.

Output from action.php:
<script>
opener.location.reload();
close();
</script>

Warning for server side purists: My php scripts use javascript to popup
and

close windows. So this question, although posted to a php newsgroup, has
elements of javascript too. Gasp! No flames please.
I have a main window which I will refer to as mainwindow
(window.name='mainwindow' in the onload event). The script loaded into
it is

mainListing.php. From mainListing.php I popup another window, with a
form

and a save button. The form's action is "action.php"

In action.php I update the database and then would like to: (1) refresh
mainwindow so it reflects the database changes, and (2) close the popup
window.
I have been reading, tweaking, trying different things but nothing is
working. Currently, the action script does:
...
elseif (isset($_POST['btnSave']))
{
  .. update the database, then ...
   header("Location: ".$_POST['CallingScript']."?ID=".$_POST['ID']);
   exit;
}
...
This reloads the popup window, and then I have a "close" button to close
the

popup. Then I have to refresh the browser window manually to see the
updated

table from the database. Can I get some advice on how to accomplish (1)
and

(2) above?

Many thanks,

Rich
