problem loading correct url using getURL

[Edward07]

I want to use dyanamic url for getURL. i get the dynamic url from script.php via echo "url=$url"; The url reaches
the flash corectly since i checked it with trace.url. But the problem is that getURL does not load the url. Instead it loads localhost/undefined.Could any one look at this code and let me know how to fix it.Thanks

myData = new LoadVars() 
        myData.ref = this 
        myData.load("[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/script.php")[/URL]
        myData.onLoad = function(succes){ 
            if(succes){ 
			
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open(this.url,'newWin','
width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");

           trace(this.url);
            } else trace("Error loading data")
			
        } 

}

well you an unneeded } at the end that will cause error for sure

if thats not all then maybe 'this.url' will help

i forget to delete that { when posting here.Because this funciton was part of another function called every few seconds. I tried all these and non worked

this.url
+this.url+
'+this.url+'
"+this.url+"

all of them failed!!!

error:

Insternet Explorer cannot downoad.

Unspecified error

Don't use this.url...

But try this...

my_url = "

http://www.google.com";

getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open(\""+my_url+"\",'newWin','width=400,height=300,top=0,left=0');void(0);NewWindow.focus();");

I am getting the url from php script so i have to use this.url . Is there any better way?

 

[oldnewbie]

I meant don't use this.url in the getURL code...

Set a new variable from your PHP...

my_url = this.url;

Then use my_url in the getURL code, not this.url.

Many thanks. Now a get a popup page but with incorect url.
The url is :

http://localhost/+this.url+

instead of

http://www.cnn.com

that i passed from php via echo "$url";

 

[Edward07]

oppss i mean echo "url=$url";

 

[oldnewbie]

I'm not familiar with PHP, so can't check that end...
But are you sure the passed variable is a string?
It has to be.

i think the problem is with passing data from php to flash
i keep getting this error:
Error loading data

I checked the php it outputs the url corectly but itseem
it is not getting passed to flsh for some reason!!

Here is the php part:

<?


$server   = "localhost"; // MySQL hostname
$username = "root"; // MySQL username
$password = ""; // MySQL password
$dbname   = "db"; // MySQL db name


$db = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());
      mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());


 $query2 = "SELECT url FROM table WHERE ID ='2' ";
          
            $result2 = mysql_query( $query2 );

            $fp = fopen("log", "w");
            fwrite($fp, $query);
            fclose($fp);

           if(mysql_num_rows( $result2 ) ) 
           {
                 $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result2 );

               outputURL($row['url']);

           }
           else
           {

              echo "url=Empty url";

           }

function outputURL($url)
{
    echo "url=$url";


    
}

?>
