Opening a new browers window

[Anon]

How can I use PHP to open a URL in a new or existing browser window?

Thanks

This is an HTML question, not PHP

<a href="http://www.whatever.com" target="_blank">link to whatever</a>

I'm not trying to create a link. I am trying to have the PHP code decide which page to open then open it in a broswer. For example:

if (true) {
openURL("http://1.html"");
} else {
openURL("http://2.html"");
}

Thanks

for that you'll have to use the header() function:

<?
if (true) {
header ('location: http://1.html');
} else {
header ('location: http://2.html');
}
?>

make sure there is nothing output to the browser before you call the header function (not even whitespace)

Thanks! I'll give it a try...

Actually, you can't. JavaScript is the answer here, not PHP. Repeat after me: PHP is server side. It can't control your browser (disregarding cookies and header redirecting).
