I have been looking for a way to add the information (string) from a variable in the previous page.

As far as I know this should be possible using javascript somehow.

New one couldn’t get the old one to work properly..

<script type="text/javascript">
function newPopup(url) {
    popupWindow = window.open(
        url,'popUpWindow','height=510,width=350,left=10,top=10,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes')
}
</script>
<a href="JavaScript:newPopup('(url)');">Armory Avatar</a>

I have that piece of code that opens the link into a new popup window(which remembers the url of the previous page).
In this window people can insert some information about there WoW character and the realm this character is on. After they do this and hit submit the site displays the url for the avatar retrieved from the blizzard armory.

http://eu.battle.net/static-render/eu/(imagepath)

Code for the popup page: Updated this current code (7-4-2012)

   <?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
?>
<!-- The fill in form -->
<html>
<head>
<title>Armory Avatar</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">
Character Name:<input type="text" size="12" maxlength="50" name="cname"><br />
Realm Name:
<select name="rname">
<optgroup label="English Realms">
<option value="aerie-peak">Aerie-Peak</option>
<option value="agamaggan">Agamaggan</option>
<option value="aggramar">Aggramar</option>
etc etc etc.
</optgroup>
</select><br />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
} else {  //If form is submitted execute this

    $charname = $_POST["cname"]; //input character name
    $realmname = $_POST["rname"]; //input realm name

    $charurl = urlencode(utf8_encode($charname)); //prepares character name for url usage
    $realmurl = 'http://eu.battle.net/api/wow/character/'.$realmname.'/';  //combines the basic url link with the realm name
    $toon = $realmurl.$charurl; //adds the charactername behind the realm url
    $data = @file_get_contents($toon); //retrieves the data from the armory api
        if ($data) {
            // if armory data is found execute this 

            $obj = json_decode($data); //converts the data from json to be used in the php code ?>
            <img src='http://eu.battle.net/static-render/eu/<?php echo $obj->thumbnail; ?>'> </img><br /> <?php //Is url link to image 
            $armoryname = utf8_decode($obj->name); //makes the name readable again
            echo "Name: " . $armoryname . "<br />";  //character name
            echo "Level: " . $obj->level . "<br />";  //character level
            echo "Achievement Points : " . $obj->achievementPoints . "<br />"; //Achievement Points
            if ( $obj->gender == 1 ){  //Deteremines the gender of the character
                echo "Gender : Female <br />" ;  //displays gender as female
            }else{
                echo "Gender : Male <br />" ; //dispalays gender as male
            } 
            $image = "http://eu.battle.net/static-render/eu/".$obj->thumbnail;
            ?>
            Image: <a href='http://eu.battle.net/static-render/eu/<?php echo $obj->thumbnail; ?>'> http://eu.battle.net/static-render/eu/<?php echo $obj->thumbnail; ?></a><br /> 


            <!--Button submit code-->

            <script type="text/javascript">
            $('button.cancel_link').click(function() {

            // Change the value of the input with an ID of 'avatarurl'
            // with the dynamic value given to you by the external JSON link

            window.opener.getElementById('avatarurl').value = '<?php echo $image; ?>';

            });
            </script>
            <input> <!-- The button here -->



        <?php   



        }
        else { // if armory data is not found execute this  ?>

            error code stuf
        }
}
?>

Now i need this line of code:

$image = “http://eu.battle.net/static-render/eu/“.$obj->thumbnail;

To be returned when the window is closed or simply by hitting another submit button(prefered to happen on close over button). And when either of those happen it needs to insert this into this string:

<input type="text" class="textbox" name="avatarurl" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{$avatarurl}" /></td>

The texbox called avatarurl.

Hopefully any of you know how to modify or create a javascript that does this for you. Since my php is already severely limited and my javascript knowledge is next to none.

    You need to modify the way you’re closing your pop-up window. Try something like this:

    // When a BUTTON with the class name 'cancel_link'
// is clicked, it activates the following

$('button.cancel_link').click(function() {

   // Change the value of the input with an ID of 'avatarurl'
   // with the dynamic value given to you by the external JSON link

   window.opener.getElementById('avatarurl').value = '<?php echo $image; ?>';

});

    You need to make sure your closing link has cancel_link as its class name, and that your input element in your parent document has an id of avatarurl.
