[SOLVED] header location variable load in new window

how do i make the following line load in new window?

you don't

 

use javascript

[ahs10]

ok.  so how would i use javascript to load a new window for this php variable?

[MadTechie]

just echo the javascript,

 

javascript is parsed as the screen loads and php generates the output so

 

<?php
$loc = "http://www.phpfreaks.com";
echo "<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>";
echo "self.opener.location = $loc;";
echo "</script>";
?>

 

should work ok

thank you guys.  i had to take a day off this project for this exact reason.  why it never occured to me to have the link that presents this php page open in a new window, thereby solving my problem.....i have no idea what was wrong with me.  anyweezer, as always, the masters of that reside here between these forum of freak walls were quick to answer.  thanks again!
