hi, this is my code

 

$redirect = 'index1.htm';

header ("location: $redirect");

 

i want to redirect to new internet explorer when click on it. i wrote target="_blank" but it doesn't work. how to write the code? thanks

I think what you want is an HTML hyperlink, which you don't need PHP for:

 

<a href="index1.htm" target="_blank">click here</a>

 

If for some reason you need PHP to open a new window--you could print javascript to the screen that opens a new window.

 

Tell me if either is your intention and I'll try to build on a more specific response.

i wrote the file in php format. after user login correctly, it will redirect them to another page but the new page will be pop up.

i try echo "<a href='index1.htm' target='_blank'></a>";  OR  "<a href="index1.htm" target="_blank"></a>";      but it don't work.

Oh I see, then you can do this.

 

On the login form, you can add the target attribute to the form itself:

 

<form action="login.php" [b]target="_blank"[/b]>
...

 

and on login.php, after logging the user in, you do as you did before:

 

header('location: index1.htm');
exit;
