Babamba Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: my mother Insane since: Aug 2000	posted 09-30-2004 23:47 How do I pass variables from one page to a popup window using php? I want to be able to click on a link and have the variables passed to the resulting popup. Is there a better way to do it, without using php? I've searched the web in vain for a solution.

You could use a form tag and have hidden post variables. Simply "submit" to a new page.

[Edit:
I realized that may not be clear enough.

Using a <form action="post" method="yourpopup.html" target="_blank"> is for a default browser window.

Otherwise, Javascript will be necessary.

How would I do it without a form? These are variables that I will declare on the parent.

Um this is all well and good but you can also just pass the variables in the query string of the new winow url

<a href="something.php?variable1=something&variable2=something2" target="new">link</a>

or with a popup

window.open('something.php?variable1=something&variable2=something2','new','height=200px, width=200px'),

even without php you could parse the querystring with Javascript to get the variables
