Hi,

One of my client has asked us to a popup when their clients open the email newletter.

Is that possible to do in php.

Basically pop up window will have their signature.

They are asking for an php template to be used for email newsletters.And pop up window will open with their signature.

Is that possible?. I am not an programmer. Can anyone help me.
Thanks
Suvetha

No it isn't, PHP has to run on a server, and "pop-ups" are usually initiated by javascript.

email client software (Outlook,Outlook Express, Eudora, Incredimail etc) will block javascripts in emails. Webmail users will have pop-up blockers in their browsers.

All browsers comes with popup blocker by default.
Visitors do hate popups... just my thoughts...

As far as I know the only "popup" that can be launched automatically through opening an email would be a Authentication message - it can't be styled or anything like that however it can contain a custom message and will render the users browser completely inoperable until they confirm they have seen the message (by closing the popup).

I wouldn't recommend doing it this way, even if it is your only option. If you want to try it out put the following in a .htaccess file:

   <Files image.jpg>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Your client signature here"
  AuthUserFile /home/path/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
  </Files>

In the email you send out simply include the image.jpg that now has restricted access due to the .htaccess file.

As this isn't a popup per-se popup blockers cant block your message being shown. It will irate everyone who opens the email however
