Showing results of a form in new window

Jan 6th, 2004

Evening all, first post so be nice

I want to know if it is possible to show the results of a form in a new window. So when you press the submit button on a post or get type of form, how do you get it to show the results in a new page?

I can post code if you want to but i think there is enough to go on.

Thanks and look forward to helping out too...

Can be done in php, when yuo name the form's field, then you can export that as a $name variable.

Welcome to TTF!

The easiest way is to submit the form to target="_blank" - here's some sample code in HTML/PHP. The PHP code is just so the form doesn't get displayed:

[PHP]<?
if(isset($_POST['something'])) {
echo $_POST['something'];
}
else {
echo '
<form action="'.$_POST['SCRIPT_NAME'].'" method="post" target="_blank" >
Input Something: <input type="text" name="something">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>';
}
?> [/PHP]

Any questions, just ask.

Thanks for the welcome guys and a successful one at that.

I didnt realise you could use the target variable in the form tag.

Thanks!

Hmm? What do you mean? What's the other way to do it? I can't think of any right this minute, so maybe you can clear it up.

 Help with Code Tags 
 HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<form action=page.php method=post>
<input type=text name=var>
<input type=text name=var2>
</form>
<form action=page.php method=post>
<input type=text name=var>
<input type=text name=var2>
</form>

You could export the content of that form as $var and $var2.

How does that open up a new window and display the variables submitted? Sorry, not trying to be a dick about it, just not following.

Greetings.
How about using Javascript alone?
Is it possible to show the results of a form in a new window?
I have seen how things were done using Request.QueryString by decoding the url. But is there other alternative similar to the ASP's Request.Form("element") way? I'm trying to avoid using ASP, because the server doesn't have IIS. Please help.
