NYCPHP Meetup

[Ariel Kulkin]

All,

I appreciate your responses, but for some reason Brian's suggestion (which
is the one I can most comfortably follow, given my knowledge) is not
working.

Brian suggested:
<input type="radio"  name="Referrals" value="Y"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/Pop%20Ups/Referrals.php?user_id=<?=$user_id?>','Referrals','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=600')"/>


But once I put any parameter after Referral.php, all I get is that the "The
Page cannot be found".

I even tried replacing the button for an image and also a text link... and I
can't seem to be able to use either, to open the window AND pass the user_id
parameter (which is, indeed, a php variable).

An example of the failed attempt using a text link:
Just FYI : rstuserdata is my recordset,
                us_user_id is the field that contains (for sure) the value
which user_id should take
                user_id is the parameter I want to pass..

<a href="#" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/Pop%20Ups/Referrals.php?user_id=<?php
echo $row_rstuserdata['us_user_id'];
?>','Referrals','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=600')">USE
THIS TEXT AS LINK</a>

Any thoughts?  I know that, collectively, you've suggested other
alternatives... but given my limited skill, this one has a syntax I
understand, and I know where to put it, in the code...

Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ariel.
