javascript popup and php variables - possible?

[DavidPr]

I'm using this javascript:
[PHP]<script type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript'>
function PopUp(url) {
remote=window.open(url,'PopUpWindow','height=500,w idth=500,top=50,left=200,alwaysLowered=0,alwaysRai sed=0,channelmode=0,dependent=1,directories=0,full screen=0,hotkeys=0,location=0,menubar=0,resizable= 0,scrollbars=yes,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,z-lock=33');
if (!remote.opener)
remote.opener = self;
if (window.focus)
remote.focus();
}
</script>[/PHP]

And in the web page:
[PHP]echo '
<tr><td width="25%" align="right" valign="top">

<a href="javascript:popImage('http://www.mysite.com/gallery/<?php echo "$image_name"; ?>', '<?php echo "$item_title"; ?>')"><img src="gallery/thumbs/$image_name" width="$thumb_w" height="$thumb_h" alt="$item_title"></a></td>

<td width="1%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="74%" valign="top"><u><strong>$item_title</strong></u><br><br>$item_desc</td></tr>
<td colspan="3"><hr></td></tr>
';[/PHP]

Is it possible to use a javascript popup window to display pictures using php variables? The ' and " seem to get things screwed up. You can use backslashes in the javascript code because it fails. The above just prints out $item_title and $item_desc on the web page and the thumbnail doesn't even show at all.

Heya, David.

Try this:

echo <<<END
<tr><td width="25%" align="right" valign="top">
 
<a href="javascript:popImage('http://www.mysite.com/gallery/{$image_name}', '{$item_title}')"><img src="gallery/thumbs/{$image_name}" width="{$thumb_w}" height="{$thumb_h}" alt="{$item_title}"></a></td>
 
<td width="1%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="74%" valign="top"><u><strong>$item_title</strong></u><br><br>{$item_desc}</td></tr>
<td colspan="3"><hr></td></tr>
END;
 

The curly braces are optional, but I like to use them to make the variables stand out a bit more.

Check the function names again. in the JS it's popUp but you are trying to call it as popImage.
