reading contents of file into a window

[dmikester1]

I have my site listing out a bunch of files, one per row.  In each row there is an "edit" link next to each filename.  Right now, when that link is clicked a new window pops up with a blank file editor.  There is nothing in the content area.  Can someone explain to me how to pass the contents of the file next to the "edit" clicked into that window.

Thanks

you need to add a query string that will contain let say id's

 

something like link.php?id=1

 

so when you click the link the other page will process your query string and search / display the record having

1 as an id

I have the edit link attached to a js function with "onclick".  Here is that JS code:

function popup(filename)
{
if(filename != "") {
  win = window.open('FileEditor.php?dir=<?=$_GET['dir']?>&file='+filename,'window','height=600, width=700,toolbar=no,directories=no, status=no, menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes');
}
else {
  win = window.open('FileEditor.php?dir=<?=$_GET['dir']?>&file=','window','height=600, width=700,toolbar=no,directories=no, status=no, menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes');
}
win.moveTo(100,100);
return false;
}

 

Now, the filename is in php and I don't know how to pass it to the javascript.

may is see where and how you call this JavaScript  function

It's a long one.  Here is the code that generates a single line with the filename and edit link on it.

<tr class="<?=$class;?>" id="file<?=$i;?>"><td><img src="images/<?=$icon;?>" alt="<?=$files[$i];?>" /></td><td id="<?=finame.$i;?>"><a href="<?=$fileurl;?>"><?=$thumb2;?><?=$filename;?></a></td><td class = "edit"><a href="#" onclick="javascript:popup(none)">edit</a></td><td><em><?=round(filesize($leadon.$files[$i])/1024);?>KB</em></td><td class="date"> <?=date ("M d Y h:i:s A", filemtime($leadon.$files[$i]));?><?=$thumb;?></td><td class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="filebox<?=$i;?>" id="filebox<?=$i;?>" value="" onclick="highlightRow(this);" /></td></tr>
