Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] Passing parameters with the click of a button.
Ariel,

Assuming user_id is a PHP variable, you should be able to do it like this.

<input type="radio"  name="Referrals" value="Y"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/Pop%20Ups/Referrals.php?user_id=<?=$user_id?>','Referrals','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=600')"/>
     Yes<br />

And in referrals.php...

<?
 $user_id = $_GET['user_id'];
?>

That's *one* way to do it. However, it's very insecure. If you're
setting variables like user_id they should never be accessible from a
GET param where the user can manipulate it directly. It would be best
to set user_id in a SESSION variable somewhere - then you can access
it from any page you want without having to worry about constantly
passing it as a parameter.
