PHP For Each Download File



I'm either using incorrect syntax or going about this with the wrong method.





In the html document that references this php file, there is a simple list of checkboxes. The user checkmarks the boxes and hits submit. This then kicks off with the goal of prompting the user to run or save each file. If I checkmark test1.txt, test2.txt and test3.txt, there should be a popup for each (assuming of course the browser is IE).





The issue is that only the 'last' checkmarked item is downloaded - the rest are not. I thought of opening a popup window for each file found but it has no effect. If I use echo $filename, it then correctly displays each entry I checkmarked so the php script appears to be given the multiple file names correctly. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty sure the $filename in the window.open parameter is not being used in the right syntax right now too.





Here is the script:







<?php



foreach($_POST['files'] as $filename) {



echo "<SCRIPT language=\"JavaScript1.2\">function openwindow() {window.open ('$filename', 'execute','location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1, width=500,height=500');}</script><body onload=\"openwindow()\"></body>";



}



?>

  1. Should work

    <html>
    <head>
    <script>
    function openwindow(filename) {window.open (filename, 'execute','location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1, width=500,height=500');}

    <?php
    foreach($_POST['files'] as $filename) {

    echo "openwindow('".$filename."');";

    }
    ?>

    </script>
    </head>

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
