I noticed on line 9 that you have one too many double quotes, it should read

$demo="Javascript:showme("."'popup.php?somevalue="."".$value."');";

Otherwise, the only thing that I can see is that you are using str_replace # to @ and I don't understand why.

Hi.

I have an alternate solution to your problem.

Instead of passing this huge string throught the url using the GET protocol, why not pass it using POST?
Main reason why it is better to pass values with POST is that url's have a max length (255 chars if memory serves) and GET has restriction on charactes it can pass on (#, ? and & for example will cause errors)

I created this javascript to do what it is I think you are doing.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['name']))
	echo "<p>Value passed = ". $_POST['name'] ."</p>";
?>

<script language="javascript">
function open_url(url, fieldName, fieldValue)
{
	// Create new form element
	var form = document.createElement("form");
	form.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
	form.setAttribute("method", "post");
	form.setAttribute("action", url);
	
	// Create new input element
	var field = document.createElement("input");
	field.setAttribute("type", "text");
	field.setAttribute("name", fieldName);
	field.setAttribute("value", fieldValue);
	
	// Append input to form and form to body
	form.appendChild(field);
	document.body.appendChild(form);
	
	// submit form
	form.submit();
	
	// Remove the form
	document.body.removeChild(form);
}
</script>
<a href="javascript: open_url('#', 'name', 'Atli');">Link</a>

Hi,

The solution for your problem is you have to create an object for window.open method in javascript.
give like this,

popup = window.open(URL,"","toolbar=0, location=0, statusbar=1, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, resizable=0, width=600, height=500");
popup.focus();

You could try saving your data using a cokkie, open your php popup page using the javascript method 'window.open' and have your php popup page read the cookie.

I'm also 99% sure you can save your data in the php $_SESSION array in your main page and have your popup page read it from there.
