[RESOLVED] Open URL using PHP (No HTML)

[SuPerNoVi]

Bit of an odd issue this, which I'm hoping has a simple solution.

Basically I have a form which posts back on itself, I then have PHP code that only gets executed if the form passes the right value. The PHP stores some arrays in a session for another page.

I can redirect the page easily but what I need ideally is for it to open a new window just like _blank as it's displaying a PDF which needs to be in a different window.

So how do I open a URL purely using PHP?

Thanks

Sorry.. You cannot.

Openming a new window is client-side stuff, and PhP has nothing to do with this, afaik. You can of course output a .js that will generate a popup, but it is not very nice...

Yeah I figured it out, I knew it was a stupid question but thought it was worth a gamble asking.

The way I did it was I have another <form> that posts to the desired page. I then print some javascript to the page that submits that form, that way it's not treated like a popup. Worked a treat 🙂
