So you basically want to create a custom block and open a window based on user input?
The user enters a number (e.g 123) and then you want to open a pop-up window with that file displayed (e.g 123.html)
Is that right? It's a little hard to understand what you're trying to do...
You'll need to create a php file to process the form results.
In the HTML form you set action="processform.php" or such like.
I'm no expert, but, in it's most simple form, it might look like this :
the form:
<form method="post" action="processresults.php">
Number:<input name="number" type="text"/> br>
<input type="submit" />
form>
the form processing script ("processresults.php") :
?>
$number = $_REQUEST['number'] ;
if ($number!="")
{
header( "Location: http://www.example.com/".$number.".html");
}
?>
You could also use javascript to open a custom sized window but you'd need to make the PHP interact with client-side javascript.
in any case, to reference a form variables value in a PHP script, you can use $variable = $_REQUEST['formvariable'];
