send variables to another window?

[Mosher]

Hello all, is there any way to send php variables to another popup html
window? I just want users to be able to click on a hyperlink like this...

e.g., <a target=new href="www.mydomain.com/main.php?username=test&id=50>
click here </a>

....that will popup another window. This new window should be able to use
those variables.

Thanks in advance.

You can do this:

<a target=new href="/main.php?username=test&id=50>click here</a>

You've answered your own question. The target attribute
'specifies the name of a frame where a document is to be
opened' (HTML4.01 sec. 16.3).

There are a number of questionable things in your example,
though, not least of which are the two glaring syntax
errors: a missing double quote and an unescaped ampersand.
But browsers are usually quite tolerant of those. More
likely to cause problems is your address not beginning with
'http://', which leaves browsers to interpret it relative to
the base URI.
...that will popup another window.
There's nothing to say it will. For starters, it's not a
requirement. Some people don't like popups, so they block
them. More, if there's already a window named 'new', the
page should not open in another one.
This new window should be able to use those variables.

Window? Windows don't use variables. The resource
identified by the address could use them, but that address
probably doesn't identify a resource. Do you get a 404?

You most likely don't want the username and id posted into the address bar
as there are security issues with this.
Session register variables and you can use them on any page the user opens
from your site.
Eg.
<?php
session_start();
session_register("username");
$username = "user";
...........

In the popup window you can now reference the variables as long as you
include the session_start(); at the start of the page.

Maybe you can put those variables in a cookie/session?
if you register them like $_SESSION['myvarx'] = $myvar I think that
you can use them in the other window then: $myvar =
$_SESSION['myvarx']
I'm not sure about this.

I seem to have found a solution with the following in the form window:

<a href="#"
onclick="javascript:window.open('main.php?username =$username&id=$id','mywindow','width=400,height=45 0,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')">click
here</a>

Thanks for the help.

This is ok as long as you don't mind the username and id being public in the
window.
You would be better off using session var's.
