[SOLVED] open new browser

[fonecave]

how do i open a new browser window with a http address?

 

iv can do header(); but i want it to open in a new browser window....

 

probably simple but i dunno how?

you can use TARGET="_blank" in the <a> element, but you should note that it marked as deprecated by the W3C.

 

 

take a look at:

but how do i get it to open automatically i dont want a link if an if statement is true i want it to open

[helraizer]

I guess you could possibly use an external javascript file to do it?

 

<?php
if ($if == "true") { //Your if statement here

echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='/externalsource.js'></script>";

}
else {
//code for if the IF statement is false
}
?>

 

I haven't tested that but I would image it'd work. If the statement is true it'll launch that Javascript.. there is probably another way in PHP but that way /should/ work.

have changed the code to submit into another php file which gives me a new clean page in the same frame!
