sending form variables to popup

Savesheep · January 9th, 2007, 1:00 PM

Okay, no matter what i do, i can't get this to work.

search page:

Code:

<form name="myform" id='myform' action="submit-form.php" method="post">
Search:
<input type='text' name='query'>
<a href="#" onclick="win=window.open('submit-form.php',null,'height=700,width=500,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no'); this.form.target='myWin';this.form.action='http://google.com/search'">Submit Me</a>
</form>

submit-form.php:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

print "search= $query";

?>

it writes nothing. any suggestions?

Thanks!

also, this is a form that cannot send the variables in the domain as it uses a password. :/

Where are you initializing $query??

Try doing some debugging..:

Code:

$query = $_POST['query'];

if ( isset($_POST['myform']) ) {
     echo "Search: ".$query;
} else {
    echo "Form didn't go through correctly!";
}

You're not submitting the form so the value isn't being sent. If you're wanting to use JavaScript to open a new window at a specific size, you'll have to grab the values and pass them as a query string.

Code:

<form name="myform" id='myform' action="submit-form.php" method="post">
Search:
<input type='text' name='query' id='query'>
<a href="#" onclick="win=window.open('/somefile.php?query='+document.getElementById('query').value,null,'height=700,width=500,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=yes'); ">Submit Me</a>
</form>

to test it, access it in php like so:

Code:

print $_REQUEST['query'];
