pop-up window using php?

[lukeurtnowski]

What is the best way to opening a link to a pop-up window...(like this?)

    print '<th><a href="/provider_page.php?ID=' .$row['ID']. '" onClick="popup = window.open('"/provider_page.php?ID=".$row['ID']."', 'Chat', 'height=700,width=800,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes'); return false" target="_blank" title="Provider Page"><img src="/images/ASP_Images/' .$Img1. '" alt="ASP_Image" class="thumb"/></a></td>';

If you are not going to use javascript then you can open a new window setting target=_blank in the anchor tag. Else javascript will be the best way to open a pop up.

echo '<a href="./mypage.php?id=' . $ID . '" target="_blank">Link Name</a>'; 

But you cannot have the width and height.
Using JavaScript is simple:

echo '<a href="javascript:void(null);" onclick="window.open(\'mypage.php?id=' . $ID . \'',\'MyWin\',\'width=200,height=300\');">Link Name</a>';

Opening a new window is a behaviour not part of the content and so JavaScript rather than HTML is the way to code it. The window size and toolbars to display are just recommentdations though as your visitor gets the final say.

Never use href="javascript: - use onclick= for triggering JavaScript and put a real address in the href for those with Javascript disabled.
