A popup is not done with PHP per se since it is server side. There are a couple of way to do popups. One is with Javascript and window.open. The other is an HTML <a> tag (which could have an href to a PHP script) using the 'target=_blank' attribute. The latter requires a mouse click while the former can be done with any type of Javascript trigger. As for what menus are displayed, that is controlled by the browser. You may be able to suppress them with Javascript's window.open settings parameters but most browsers ignore that anyway unless permitted by the user settings. It is very difficult to override browser settings with Javascript and even harder with PHP/HTML. It is mostly a matter of security.

popups can be blocked with a popup blocker

more elegant are iframed modal boxes (eg jquery iframe modal window)

That's the javascript sorted

Onto the PHP

code your php page up to take an optional URL argument which then only creates the middle part of your page (eg without headers and footers)

then for example, consider this:

/page.php?iframed=yes

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$full = true;



if($_GET['iframed'] =='yes') {

     $full = false;

}



?>

<html>

    <head>

        .....

    </head>

    <body>

        <?php if($full) { ?>

            <div id='header'>

                ....

            </div>

        <?php } ?>



        ....

        

        <?php if($full) { ?>

            <div id='footer'>

                ....

            </div>

        <?php } ?>

    </body>

</html>
