Open a new broswer window using a header

[Shadowing]

Was wondering if its possible to open up a header in a new browser window?

 

with html you add a target to do this. Can this be done with a header?

 

header("Location: evaluate.php" target="_blank");

You'll have to use javascript window.open() or a meta refresh

well damn lol. been trying everything. I cant even get it to do it in the action part of a html form. I really thought that would work.

 

is there a way to have php excute a html link?

No. What are you trying to do?

I got it to work with using java script. I needed to use java script anyways cause I wanted to control the size of the window as well.

 

I know this isnt php related. but i dont want users refreshing the new window that opens. right now i have it set to redirect the page if they try to refresh it. But id like the window to close instead. Also how do people select the name of the window at the very top of the broswer? instead of showing the link

 

function openWin()
{
myWindow=window.open('evaluate.php','','width=220,height=150,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');
myWindow.focus();
}

If you are using javascript, why not use a pop up (div) populated via AJAX.  Then you would have no worry about page refresh, and you can easily close it at any time via javascript and the div id.  As far as the

Also how do people select the name of the window at the very top of the broswer? instead of showing the link

.  You should have a title element in the head of the document. If it is missing, the browser shows the link instead.
