Open web page in new window - w/o Javascript

James Aiello · #1 (**permalink**) 03-28-03, 13:38

I need to open a web page, from PHP, in a new window without using any Javascript.

I tried the following without any luck.

header("Window: _blank");
header("Location: SubmitInfo.php");

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's possible to do that in PHP as PHP occurs on the server end, and opening up a new window seems to be a client side task. Can you post more info about the overall goal you're trying to accomplish, maybe someone can suggest a workaround that will achieve the same effect.

why not add a new target in the link like

Code:

<a href="..." target="<randomstring>">Linktext</a>

I hopefully believe there is no other posibilty to open new windows without Javascript or clicking a link, else a lot of popups will apear, even if JS is deactivated :-)

<a href="url" target="_blank">

note that opening a new window this way is a deprecated behaviour -- you should allow the user to decide if she wants a new window
