open window with variables

[nikhilthecool]

Well. Here i have a piece of php code where there is an "if" clause.

if($x > $y)
{

// open a new window

}


Now all i want is, if x > y, then a new window should open. Obviously for that i need to use javascript function window.open()

Fine. But how do i do that?

I've tried doing it the following way



if($x > $y)
{
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open('newwindow.php');
</script>

}



But the thing is i also need to pass on a few parameters further like window.open('newwindow.php?var=something&var1=somethingelse');

Now how do i do that?? using <script> is a failure in that case.

Please help me out if you really know the technique to do this..

Thanks.

hello,

you can use:

[code]
if($x > $y)
{
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.open('newwindow.php?var=".$something."&var1=".$somethingelse."');</script>";

}

[/code]

something like this.
