sessions from parent to pop-up

[anujgarg]

Stuck into a problem. Trying to pass session values from parent to popup window. But failed.

I am using the following:

 

session.php (parent window):

$value1=$_SESSION['name'];

echo "<a href=\"javascript:window.open('page.php?sid=<?php echo $value1;?>','name1','height=320,width=240');\">pop-up</a>";

 

page.php (popup window):

$a=session_id(strip_tags($_GET['sid']));

session_start();

echo $a;

 

Any thoughts?

session.php:

 

session_start();
echo "<a href=\"javascript:window.open('page.php?sid=".$_SESSION['name']."','name1','height=320,width=240');\">pop-up</a>";

 

page.php:

 

$a=session_id(strip_tags($_GET['sid']));
session_start();
echo $a;

 

should work for what you're doing.  Mainly you're sytax was wrong in session.php

the thing is that whenever I click the button to open popup window, it appears with blank page. Also, the parent window also gets submitted. How can I solve these problems? In short, session value is not appearing in pop-up.

thanks for the replies.

is there any other method to pass the session or values from parent to popup without using querystring? I m asking this just for the sake of security.

 

TIA
