This does not work, when I replace my header function with:
elseif (isset($_POST['btnSave']))
{
.. database update, then...
$ostr = <<< OUTPUT;
<script language="javascript">
document.window.opener.reload()
self.parent.close();
</script>
OUTPUT;
echo $ostr;
//header("Location: ".$_POST['CallingScript']."?ID=".$_POST['ID']);
exit;
}
several things happen: the database update does not happen, the mainwindow
does not reload, and my form disappears from the popup frame and this frame
is blank.
I am probably doing something very stupid.
