Re: [PHP] How pass form variable to window.open()

[Brian Dunning]

Actually, I just did this last night with great success. Here is my  
code, I'm sure you can adapt it to your own. PHP was not needed, this  
was all done as part of the client-side validation JavaScript. Use  
JavaScript in the submit button's onClick to set the JavaScript  
variable with the value from the form field (I have a form field called  
"z" that is getting passed along as a GET request with the window.open  
href):

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
function validate(myForm)
{
...a bunch of other unrelated stuff here...
  window.open('http://www.mysite.com/tool.php?z='+  
myForm.z.value+'&loc='+location.href,'','toolbar=0,location=0,directorie 
s=0,status=0,me  
nubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=yes,height=400,width=400',true);
}
//-->
</script>

<form name="myForm">
<input name="z" type="text">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="return validate(myForm);">
</form>
Hope this helps.  :)
