Don't forget to sanitize the user's input. Here's an easy way of sanitizing a value that's supposed to be numeric:

$number = @intval($_REQUEST['number']);

Re: Please help, i have to finish this. about getting input from user

yes, the code I mentioned is just a simple way of doing it. I just wanted to express the basic principle. It would be a good idea to add validation routines to check the user input.

BTW, I discovered how to quote code in the XOOPS forum! you can just enclose the code in code /code blocks with "[" and "]" characters around the code tags (xoops codes?)

hooray for XOOPS I love it

Re: Please help, i have to finish this. about getting input from user

I just tested them both :

<?
//$number = $_REQUEST['number'];
//$filename = $number.".html"; //add filename extension
$filename="test1.htm";
if ($filename!="") //if number is not blank
{

echo "<script language="JavaScript"type="text/javascript">" ."window.open($filename,'','top=0,left=0,screenY=0,screenX=0,width=775,height=500,scrollbars=yes');"
."</script>";
}
else
{
echo "Invalid Number";
}
?>


and

<?
//$url= $_REQUEST['number']; //get form field result
$url="test1";
$ext = ".htm"; //file extension
$title = "Window Title"; //window title
$details = "height=300,width=300"; //window properties
$url=$url.$ext; //make filename

print "<SCRIPT language="javascript">
   window.open($url, $title, $details);</SCRIPT>"
?>


It's odd. It prints the function alright but doesn't actually activate it. anyone know why?

PHP and javascript popup window

I couldn't get the popup window to work via PHP

BUT

I just realised, you can do the same thing using just javascript. You don't need to use PHP.

This is the same thing using javascript.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup()
{
 var url=document.forms[0].elements['number'].value;
 if (url!=""){
   url=url+".htm";
   window.open( url, "Window Title","status = 1, height = 300, width = 300, resizable = 0" )
   }
 else{
   alert("Invalid number");
   }
}
//-->
</script>

<form>
<input type="text" name="number" size="20">
<input type="button" onClick="popup()" value="Go!">
</form>

Re: PHP and javascript popup window

just put all that javascript in a custom block, save it as HTML. I tested it myself. It works.

Re: PHP and javascript popup window

Is the URL extension correct?

Are you using .htm files or .html files?

The javascript code is set to use .htm files.

You can change the extension value where it says url=url+".htm"; change to url=url+".html";

It works with the files in the XOOPS root folder but you could change it to a different folder by writing:

url="http://www.mysite.com/xoops/html/"+url+".html";

if you like.
