Pop-up Window within PHP how?

[TechExpressInc]

I have an inframe PHP coded form within a HTML page. I like to have a pop-up window for more info.
I can not figure out how.

I think I have to exit the PHP secession and start a HTML secession and put in some javascript??

Can someone give some help on what direction to go and how?

Thanks a Lot

JS in PHP will work without constraints. You just need to surround it with <script></script> tags. A basic example to keep you going:

<?php
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){alert("It\'s been parsed correctly.");}
</script>';
?>

Or you can look here on this site for a quick tutorial...I looked it up in the webmaster tools area up there. ^^

The best way to do it is to use JavaScript. There is a great tool here to create a popup window (thanks to gotoguy). There are also quite a few scripts out on the web (for free) that will do what you need as well.

rangana has the right of it as well. You don't have to create a whole new script in order to server up HTML/JavaScript code. You have two options.

Option #1

<?php
echo "HTML code here";
?>

Option #2

<?php
php code here
?>
HTML code here

So basically, your options are to print the HTML via PHP or serve the HTML within the same file, but outside the PHP script.

Hope that answers your question. I can help you figure out what you need more if you need the additional assistance.
