RE: [PHP] has anyone seen this done?

[snip] i know this is possible with php, but have been wracking my brain trying to figure this out, in any case, i am just a beginning php programmer, but what i want to do is...when a link is clicked, i need to be able to pull some text from a static html page and dynamically create a new window in which to display a specific block of text...can this be done and has anyone seen something like this implemented... [/snip] Aloha The link needs to contain target="_blank" so ... <a href="new_window.php target="_blank"> In new_window.php you will need to fopen the static html file, read the file and then find the text you want from it (ereg or some other regex matching facility). Make sure to fclose the file. Head for the manual at http://www.php.net to learn the definition of the terms used herein. HTH!
