Hi,
Im just starting to learn PHP nor Java and I dont have any basic idea how to do this. But im asking of basic knowledge or script on how to do a pop-up window inside PHP and select the name inside the pop-up window to transfer on my main page. All I know is I have to use Java to make things work. To clarify, here the steps user will do.
1. open main page
2. cick the button contact name
3. a pop up window will appear with list box of contacts.
4. after selecting the contact people it will display the name back to main page.
I hope i made it clear. let me know if you need more information.
thanks!

PHP is server-side; it does not interact directly with the browser.
Ask in the javascript forum.

Looks like after putting this thread on Java forum their kicking me out :) to PHP.
but anyways I was able to do the pop-up window the next problem Im having is how to copy the value selected from window 2 to window 1 back? -
echo '
-
<h2>' . ( $id ? translate ( 'Edit Entry' ) : translate ( 'Add Entry' ) )
-
. $eType_label . ' <img src="images/help.gif" alt="' . translate ( 'Help' )
-
. '" class="help" onclick="window.open( \'search_contact.php'
-
. ( empty ( $id ) ? '?add=1' : '' )
-
. '\', \'cal_help\', \'dependent,menubar,scrollbars,height=400,width=800,'
-
. 'innerHeight=420,outerWidth=420\' );" /></h2>'

Javascript, not Java. Two completely different things.

if you have something specific in mind open a new thread and ask it. if it's some general, you may find some articles in the insights section useful or (even more general) look for a tutorial.
the PHP Manual Pages also offer lots of useful information.

you can do this in javascript just like this in popup window -
window.opener.document.getElementById( 'xyz' ).value = value_from_contactbox
-
window.close();

thanks! -
echo "<input type='button' value='Select' onclick=window.opener.document.getElementById( 'ContactID' ).value = value_from_contactbox window.close()'>";

you will write this code in new window. and you can write this code in java script tag. You just have to call that function according to your requirement. -
<script language="javascript">
-
function fname(value_of_listbox)
-
{
-
window.opener.document.getElementById( 'medicinename' ).value = value_of_listbox
-
window.close();
-
}
-
</script>

Thanks waqasahmed996 this what I did on my pop-up window and still does'nt work I hope Im almost there :) smile. Java Script on top of body tag - <script language="javascript">
-
function contactID(ContactID)
-
{
-
window.opener.document.getElementById( 'ContactID' ).value = ContactID
-
window.close();
-
}
-
</script>
inside PHP - echo "<input type='button' value='". $row['contactid']. "'
-
onclick='ContactID(ContactID)'>";
result:
Page Error

error may be due to this reason that you are using Capital letter 'C' in php and small in java script 'c' while calling function ContactID
try like this -
echo "<input type='button' value='$abc'
-
onclick='contactID($abc)'>";

How can I set a value for a parameter to pass if its a result of a query.
eg. ". $row['contactid']. " | | Member | | Join Date: Jun 2008

you can write like this - echo "<input type='button' value='".$row['contactid']."' onclick='contactID($row[contactid])'>";

some minor optimization (PHP) - echo "<input type='button' value='", $row['contactid'], "' onclick='contactID($row[contactid])'>";
