Re: how to pass value from popup window to php program

For info on JavaScript functions, like window.open() use google to find resources. For passing back values to PHP you need a script that does 2 things: - Ask for the email address - Handle the address with PHP Because PHP will not wait for a user to put in it's e-mail address, these are two separate pieces of code. You can do this for example by checking if the email address has been entered: <?php // myscript.phtml if ($email) { // Part 1 } else { // Part 2 } ?> Part 1 handles the email address the way you want Part 2 can be done in a number of ways, as long as the e-mail address gets entered and send back to the script. A simple way is using a form: <FORM ACTION="myscript.phtml"> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="email"> </FORM> But you could also use JavaScript to create a dialog and 'redirect' to your script, passing the email address in the URL, probably something like: email = prompt("Please enter your address"); document.window.location.href = "myscript.phtml?email=" + escape(email); bvr.
