A bit of a strange way would be to always pop the window and at that point have the PHP decide what to put in there. If there is not offer you want to include you could simply thank them, or you could even produce an inline window.close(); javascript call. The only problem with that is that some browsers pop a message saying that the script is trying to close the window. I'd expect you to know upon hitting the checkout screen what you'd want to do so you could do the processing there and have the code decide whether to even pop the window.
Hope it's worth a cent or 2... :-) <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Petr Tomenendál [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 10:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PHP in a javascript function with DB calls. Hi. You cannot call PHP script from JavaScript in any simple way. It can be possibly done by including JavaScript code generated by PHP script through <script src="script.php"..., but it is too complicated. I think it will be better to do this like this: user have selected some items and goes to check out - his browser requests new page with check out form for example checkout.php - your checkout.php can look like this: <html> <head> </head> <body> <!-- test for related items (hockey stick - hockey tape) --> <!-- your checkout code here --> </body> </html> in part 'test for pop-up' you will check for items related to currently selected items, and if your script find some items then you can echo JavaScript code to open new window with additional items to buy or show these items on the top of page before the checkout form. I hope this helps. Petr.
