[PHP] Returning FORM vars from popup
(Sorry, I inadvertently sent an incomplete post) I have a popup window, itemSelect.php, from which I would like to reload the calling page. itemSelect.php has a form, and I want to reload the calling page with these form variables. How can I do this? I can reload the page easily enough, with this test code in itemSelect.php: Not surprisingly, this doesn't work. My calling page reloads and the popup closes, but the onClick code bypasses the form and newparam doesn't get passed. What, please, is a good way to accomplish passing newparam (and other form vars) back to the calling page?

[PHP] Opening new browser window
I would like to open a new browser window from within my php script (edit.php), a window in which another php page is run (search.php). search.php should be able to receive $_POST vars etc. from edit.php.

By normally, I mean that when I use javascript to popup a new window (search.php), and in search.php I have a form > > clicking OK or Cancel does absolutely nothing. So, I would like to avoid javascript and simply open a new browser window to run search.php.

Re: [PHP] Opening new browser window
And if you are not in a form? My current code is: where popup is my javascript function. But as I said below, the popup doesn't work as expected and I do not want to use javascript.

[PHP] popups, parents, parameters, and php
I have been asking specific questions, and getting helpful answers, but I realized I am getting ahead of myself and thinking about the trees when I don't see the forest yet. I would like to describe what it is I want to do in general, and then hopefully you can point me in the right direction so I use html, php, and javascript together in some kind of reasonable way. I feel like I am re-inventing the wheel, and badly. What I want to do must have been done a zillion times by other web programmers already. I have a php page (edit.php) with a form with some text fields and a select menu (select1). I want users to be able to add entries to the select1 menu, and would like to use a popup window to do this. In the popup window, the user is presented with a form with a select menu of all possible entries. The user can make multiple selections from this list in the popup, and when the popup's form is submitted, I want the select1 menu in edit.php to reflect these additional entries selected from the popup. Those are the requirements. Should be easy, but I am finding it very difficult to tie the pieces together. Any advice or url of a relevant tutorial would be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] Re: popups, parents, parameters, and php
my colleague just suggested that my popup, on the form submit, can call another page which just registers the items selected as session variables. This seems like a good idea. Of course, I will have to reload the original calling page, edit.php, so it can check those session varibles and amend the select1 list. I am going to try this, but I would still greatly appreciate any advice.

[PHP] using a php variable in javascript
I have a page with the following code:
I have 'CompanyEdit' hardcoded, but what I want instead is something like:
so = window.open('','$callerWin');
This does not work, of course, but you get the idea: I want to use the value
of the $callerWin php variable in my javascript. Can someone tell me the
syntax for this? My reading of the documentation and trial-and-error have
not met with success.
thanks,

[PHP] for loop break and continue
Hi, Is there an equivalent to the C++ 'break' command to stop execution of a for loop? I know I can use 'goto' but I don't want to unless I have to. for ($i=0; $i<$n; $i++) if (some condition) break; And, what about 'continue' which skips the rest of the code in the for loop and immediately goes on to the next iteration?

[PHP] Reloading a specific window
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

Re: [PHP] Reloading a specific window
This does not work, when I replace my header function with:
elseif (isset($_POST['btnSave']))
{
.. database update, then...
$ostr = <<< OUTPUT;
document.window.opener.reload()
self.parent.close();
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.

[PHP] Nested queries don't work
I have the following code querying MS SQL Server
$query = "SELECT * FROM mytable";
$res = mssql_query($query);
$nr = mssql_num_rows($res);
for ($i=0; $i<$nr; $i++)
{
$a = mssql_fetch_array($res);
$query = "SELECT * FROM anothertable WHERE id=".$a['anotherID'];
$res1 = mssql_query($query);
$anr = mssql_num_rows($res1);
...
}
This does NOT work! It seems that the 2nd query steps on the results of the
first one! Can someone verify this effect? I am 99.999% sure this is what's
happening. Who is the bonehead responsible for not implementing this for MS
SQL Server?

[PHP] Shouldn't script errors show in my browser?
I hope this question is not too stupid! When I have an error in my script, it seems to me that the web server, or in my case the php CGI module I am using for testing, should send something back to my browser displaying an error message. Instead, I can write any garbage I would like in my php script and the browser just shows me a blank page. Is this because I am running php as a CGI module?

[PHP] Re: Use include function (newbie)
But *why* does logic.php need html.php?
There is no recursion issue, or endless nesting of includes, because
html.php refers to logic.php as an action for a form... this does not
"include" the logic.php code into the html.php page.
