New browser window

[Anon]

Can anyone help me here. I need to open a new browser window from within my PHP code. Say something like this:

if(something)
echo "something";
else
{
echo "opening the browser";
open_new_window(site);
}

How can I do it?

Thanks.

I can do it in HTML, but I don't know about PHP

Actually, I dont think you can. PHP is server side, not client...

[Anon]

right...but you can have PHP write the code into the clients page from javascript or regular html

echo "click <a href=page.html target=_new>here</a>\n";

javascript can be written in there too but I don't do js sooo 🙂

if(something)
echo "something";
else
{
echo "opening the browser";
echo "<script language=\"Javascript\">\n";
echo "var window_name=window.open('file.html','window_name','height=300,width=500,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no');\n";
echo "</script>\n";
}

For the window attributes, look at

Hope this helped...
