I have this code when I submit a form:
<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
mail( "Saamon@live.com", "Website Opt In Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: index.html" );
?>On the header location part, how can I make a popup window appear instead of a new page?
Thanks
<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
mail( "Saamon@live.com", "Website Opt In Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo"<script language='javascript'>newwindow('index.html');</script>";
?>and javascript code in header of page
<script language="javascript">
function newwindow(url)
{
var url = url;
window.open(url,'MyWin','resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=200,height=200,left=400,top=250');
}
</script>try like this
Great, I'll try, does the java script go in the php page? or the html?

Instead of header you can end the php code and put something like following,
<script language="javascript">
window.open("index.html");
</script>
But If you are expecting a something like a div popup then you have to use an absolute <div> like lightbox. Hope this will help !

use it in php and html, it will work . i tried it in php.
Didn't work, just took me to the "email.php" page rather than just popping up with a message.
post your code . explain what do you want . you want popup the page or popup the message.
I would like a message to popup. I posted the PHP code above - this php code is on a separate page to my html.
This is my form:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="email.php">
<p><span class="title">First Name</span><br>
<label>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="25">
</label>
<br><Br>
<span class="title">Email</span><br>
<label>
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="25">
</label>
<br><br>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" onclick="thanksDiv()">
</label>
</p>
</form>if you want message to popup use alert() function write your message .
<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
mail( "Saamon@live.com", "Website Opt In Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo"<script language='javascript'>alert('your message');</script>";
?>if your message if too long to display.
write your message in separate file name it as msg.php
<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
mail( "Saamon@live.com", "Website Opt In Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo"<script language='javascript'>newwindow('msg.php');</script>";
?>write javascript code in same file(which is having newwindow() function);
That still just takes me to the email.php page which is blank
did you get message or not. and remove header("location.html");
and in form you set action="email.php"; remove it
one more
in the submit button you have onclick(); function remove it.
see this;
<?php
if($_POST['button']=="Submit")
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
mail( "Saamon@live.com", "Website Opt In Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo"<script language='javascript'>alert('your message');</script>";
}
?>

</form>
</body>
</html>The box is popping up but on top of the PHP page rather than the original HTML page...
your php page
<?php
if($_POST['button']=="Submit")
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
mail( "Saamon@live.com", "Website Opt In Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header("location:yourhtmlfilename.html?success=1")
}
?>in the html page
<body onload="javascript: var hu = window.location.search.substring(1);
ft = hu.split('='); var g=ft[1]; if(g==1){alert('your message');}">
</body>the message alert box displayed in your html file.
That still just takes me to the email.php page which is blank
I know I understood what is your problem,
You are calling a js function on the submit button, If you want a js function execute before form submission, you need to call that function on the form, like this
<form method="post" action="actionpage.php" onSubmit="jsfunction();">remove function on submit button, it won't works for you
in your jsfunction, just add an alert box.
Now your code will work.....
