Let me see if I understand. You want to present a form on the browser, enter data into a form element, click submit, and have that data appear in a new window?
If so, I'd just add a new attribute to the form tag. Add "target=_top". That would present the output of the CGI processing the form in a new window.
If instead you want to have the data presented in a JavaScript dialog box, then have PHP create JavaScript on the return page.
Have your CGI script include the following at the of the return page:
<script language=JavaScript>
dialog (\"<variable containing form data\"
;
</script>
Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.

what is your opinion how can i transfer php form's submitted datas to the js pop-up window. i tryed include("request.php" in my new printform.php js window but it didnt make any sense. So if you can suggest me anything i would be thankful.
in my new printform.php js window but it didnt make any sense. So if you can suggest me anything i would be thankful.if you use a java link like this:
<a href="#" onclick='window.open("popup.php?name=John&lastname=Smiths&age=99", "popup","width=130,height=190,scrollbars=no,menubar=no"'>Click Here</a>
and popup.php looks like this:
<?php
echo "name: $name <br>";
echo "lastname: $lastname <br>";
echo "age: $age<br>";
?>
the popup window will show you:
name: John
lastname: Smith
age: 99
but instead of fixing the name in the link use your variables
<?php
printf("<a href=\"#\" onclick='window.open(\"popup.php?name=$fname&lastname=$lname&age=$age\", \"popup\",\"width=130,height=190,scrollbars=no,menubar=no\"'>Click Here</a>"
?> ***************************************
Party on, dudes!
