ID: 20674 Updated by: jan@php.net Reported By: tom.schnittker@rexhealth.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 7.2 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. you don't write standard conform HTML, that might confuse the trans-sid parser. try: <? session_start(); echo <<< EOT <input type="button" value="View Report" onClick="window.open('./report1.php','_top')" style="width: 200"> EOT; ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-27 08:16:05] tom.schnittker@rexhealth.com I have the following line of code in a script: echo "<input type=button value='View Report' onClick=window.open('./report1.php','_top') style='width: 200'>"; Which worked just fine. I then added a session_register statement to the script: <? session_start(); echo "<input type=button value='View Report' onClick=window.open('./report1.php','_top') style='width: 200'>"; ?> The problem was that after this when the script processes for the first time the generated source code becomes: <? session_start(); echo "<input type=button value='View Report' onClick="window.open("'./report1.php','_top') style='width: 200'>"; ?> Note the spurious set of quotes around window.open(. These quotes make the button inoperative. If I do a refresh, the quotes disappear and it works fine. I've made sure the browser cache is clear so I know that isn't the problem. I've replicated the problem multiple times. The problem could be browser related but if the same source is being sent each time from the Apache server, I'm not sure why the browser would interpret it differently on the initial load of the page as opposed to following a refresh. Considering the browser is IE, anything is possible.
