[SOLVED] Pop-up windows

[smc]

Hey,

 

Basically I've got a script that tests the submissions from a form and takes action. I basically want something like this:

 

if ( $decision == "reject" ) {

popthatonephpfileup;

}

 

But I'm not sure how to make the pop up. To my knowledge header() can't do it so I'm kinda lost.

 

Thanks for any help!!

You can't pop up windows with php. You need to output some javascript that will pop the window for you.

 

Orio.

PHP cannot make a popup. You will need to make the client do that (the web browser). In order to do that you will need to output the relevant html/javascript to make a popup window

 

Dang! Orio beat me

How can I trigger PHP to do that then? Header to a dummy page that has the pop-up then header's back to the original page?

Just echo the html out, example:

if($something == true) {
  echo '<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Not true");
</script>';
}
