PHP & JavaScript - Header preventing popup?

[duckduckgoose]

I have a PHP script but I'm including some JS code for a pop-under. The PHP script essentially redirects a user to another URL, but I want the window to popup before it redirects. The JS code that I have seems to work if the PHP script doesn't redirect, but won't work if I include the redirection in it.

Does redirecting URLs in PHP prevent popunders from working?

Ill have to read the manual on the section for, spamunders, i mean popunders.

I dont see a reason why this would cause your popunder to stop working unless it was taking you away from the page before the javascript could load.

Why not use a meta refresh ??

Either that - or sleep() in PHP which will increase the timeout, and should enable to the javascript to load...

Bear in mind though - that if you do use the header() command, you can't output anything to the browser... 😉
