return value from popup

[vampke]

Hello people,

 

I've been trying to get this to work all afternoon without any luck (it's been quite a productive day...)

 

I'm writing an add-on for a simple forum script in php.

What I want to do is to open a popup window, select an image to upload and return the BBCode into the form field of the opener page.

The upload works like a charm.

 

This is what I have so far:

opener page (found this with google):

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function showList() {
sList = window.open("uploadimg.php", "list", "width=600,height=450");
}
function remLink() {
if (window.sList && window.sList.open && !window.sList.closed)
window.sList.opener = null;
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<input type="button" value="Upload Image" name="Upload Image" onClick="showList()" />

 

opened page:

$result="[url=".$forumurl.$idir.$file_prefix.$imagefilename."][img=".$forumurl.$tdir.$file_prefix.$imagefilename."]";
echo "<input type='text' size='75' maxlength='255' name='select' value='$result' />
<input type='submit' value='copy to form' onclick='insert(window.opener.document.forumpost.req_message.text,'\\\\Q$result\\\\E')' />";

 

this will return an error and does not do what i want

I'm thinking it has something to do with special characters, hence the \\Q\\E, but I could be wrong all together obviously...

anyone any ideas?
