Passing php variable through URL

[fraser5002]

Hi this is probably a easy question but i have been rattling my mind to it for about half an hour now .  Im using an onclick event of a button to open a new webpage passing a PHP variable through the url

 

at the moment im trying to use the following code.

 

onclick="window.open('otherwebpage.php?itemtopassinurl=<? echo "$title[$i]"; ?>','popuppage','width=300,toolbar=1,resizable=0,scrollbars=yes,height=700,top=100,left=100')" ?>'

 

I know i cant use the " " in the php bit of the code but i dont know what to use instead .  I assume i cant use the ' character either???

 

How can i do this?

 

Cheers

Have you tried that code? You should be able to use "" because PHP is a server side script and so the information is parsed before the Javascript is meaning the "" dont affect the javascript could.

Hope this helps

You shouldn't need the quotes at all.

<?php echo $title[$i]; ?>

Original:

onclick="window.open('otherwebpage.php?itemtopassinurl=<? echo "$title[$i]"; ?>','popuppage','width=300,toolbar=1,resizable=0,scrollbars=yes,height=700,top=100,left=100')" ?>'

 

Revised:

onclick="window.open('otherwebpage.php?itemtopassinurl=<?php echo $title[$i]; ?>','popuppage','width=300,toolbar=1,resizable=0,scrollbars=yes,height=700,top=100,left=100')"

 

 

its worth noting that use of <? the shortcode version shouldn't be used in general as its a depreciated method that I believe come PHP v6 will be removed all together.
