my popup gets data from Database where the user can chose from. now can somone explain me how i can get submitted data(array) from my popup window back to my PARENT Form and after that back to "PARENT PHP" ?:X
i already found a way using
window.opener.document.forms.form_id.inputname.value
or
window.opener.document.getElementById('inputname').value
but i dont really know what to do with it and how to make it work for me.
Parent form:
<form method="POST" name="big_form">
popupcode in PARENT:
function popup(Location,w,h) //opens new window
{
var options = "width=" + w + ",height=" + h;
options += ",menubar=no,location=no,resizable=0,scrollbars,top=500,left=500";
var newwin = window.open(Location,'newWin',options);
if (newwin == null)
{
// The popup got blocked, notify the user
return false;
}
newwin.focus();
}
<input class="myButton" onclick="popup('?n=popup_arbeitsplatz','800','800');" style='font: bold 10px Arial;height:25px;
padding: 2px 6px 2px 6px;
width:25px;' value="A" type="button" />
after chosing data he is then supposed to save(submit) and close the popup. now the data is not supposed to show up in the PARENT directly in some way. i only need it stored somewhere and be able to manipulate the data in my PARENTS PHP. i tried many things like saving in session or including in my PARENTS PHP and tried to get the data with $_POST whatsoever.. nothing worked.
maybe something else then window.opener i dont really care i just want my data somehow :D.
use the
$_SESSION['yourVarName']
to save your submit
