Fw: [PHP] [PLEASE HELP] Passing variable to new page.

Question.. why are you opening up a full sized new window with the javascript popup script? I susspect the problem has something to do with the javascript, although I'm not going to take the time to test it myself. You can open a new page in an HTML link by setting target=new. You shouldn't have any problems. <a href="http://www.gibsonusa.com/test/page/info.php?prod_id=35" target="new"> -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor P." <igor@gibsonusa.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 12:37 PM Subject: [PHP] [PLEASE HELP] Passing variable to new page. > Hello, > I am having hard time passing the variable to the next page.
