open a new window with php code

MotMagic

Hi,

I'm working with a very simple PHP script for collecting newsletter signups on my website. I'd like the thank you page to open in a new window. I've experimented with target="_blank" but to no avail.

I tried it in the <post> code, and then also in the processing script. Neither worked.

header("Location: http://www.domain.com/page.php" target=”_blank”);

Yes, I'm a total newbie. (Need basic answers without advanced technical terminology.)

Thanks for any help!

$message = "The following newsletter signup was submitted from your website:\n

$message .= "Email Address: ".$REQUEST["Email_Address1"]."\n\n";
$message .= "Full Name: ".$REQUEST["Full_Name2"]."\n\n";
mail( $email, "Newsletter Signup Submission from your www.MotivationalmAGIC.com website", $message, "From: $email
X-Priority: 1 (Highest)" );
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/page.php" target=”_blank”);
?>

I don't think "target" applies to a HTTP header request, only to an <a> tag. Possibly the <form> tag could take the target attribute? (I don't know, but might be worth a quick try.)

Looks to me like JS is the only way to go on this one....

Validate your html code
Use full error reporting for php
Target should work unless overridden by formtarget.
