Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] Header() to a different browser instance]

Hello, Thanks a lot for the input. I implemented the example below and it works fine. However, what about passing form variables? The following is how my pages layout. parent: current_properties.phtml child: add_property.phtml The child calls add_property.php which does the property insertion into the db and then Header() redirects back to parent, where the added property is then displayed. Per your help, all the redirects and opening and closing of windows is working as I wish. However, my add_property.php script does not receive the form variables it needs. That makes sense because the following is how the submit is defined, and it does not represent a submission of the form. Submit: <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Add"onClick="closeandredirect()"> function closeandredirect() { self.opener.location.href="add_property.php"; self.close(); } Any ideas on how I can get the vars from the child window, which has a short form, to the add_property.php script? I guess this is JavaScript, and not php, but I could use the help if someone knows the answer.
