PHP and Javascript

[k3Bobos]

I'm reasonably new to both PHP and Javascript (Microsoft background.......I know, it's my own fault!) but have managed to get my galleries up and running using PHP.

Now I want to call a javascript open.window function passing it the image file name and size.

All goes well until my image filename has a space in it............. (no, I can't just remove them)

I've tried every combination of ' and " and building variables rather than putting it all in-line, to no avail.

This is the last attempt before I threw the PC out the window :-

$varbuildit= "loc=$base$dir&image=$dirm$imagetext[0]";
$varahref ="javascript:OpenPage('./disp-JS.php?$varbuildit','window1',$width,$height)";

need to pass (as an example)

javascript:OpenPage('./disp-JS.php?loc=./pics/big/&image=./pics/medium/Hello World.jpg','window1',600,400)

What is does is try this :-

javascript:OpenPage('./disp-JS.php?loc=./pics/big/&image=./pics/medium/Hello

Any pointers would be VERY appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

replace the spaces in file names (aaaarrrghhh) with their equivalent as far as javascript is concerned %20

simple str_replace function in php would handle that before passing the 'new' name to js.

I'll have at these later today (6 year old and 4 month old daughters will take most of the day up!!!) and let you know.

Thanks for your help - should have realised that - DOH! :)
