window open from the server side

Pepe

I´ve seen somewhere a script that opens a popup window using PHP instead of js, any references out there?

Thank you

php is processed server-side and only returns html to the browser. there is no provision within php to open windows (unless you want to mess with COM) on the client. try javascript.

I keep seeing new and weird things, the latest being Wez Furlong's ActiveScript SAPI module, which lets you do client-side PHP like this:

<html> ... <script language="ActivePHP"> function clickit() { $GLOBALS["window"]->open("http://www.php.net"); } </script> ... <img src="..." onclick="clickit();" /></html>

this is not standard PHP functionality, and neither is it particularly new and/or weird. take this javascript example, for example:

<script type="text/javascript">
function popUp(url, window_name, window_width, window_height, scroll, resize)
    { settings=
    "toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,"+
    "status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars="+scroll+","+
    "resizable="+resize+",width="+window_width+",height="+window_height;

NewWindow=window.open(url,window_name,settings); 
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:popUp('/some/url/blah.html', 'blah', 200, 300, 'no', 'yes');">Blah</a>
