PHP does not actually do anything on the client side *EXCEPT* to create all the HTML that gets sent to the client. Javascript (not to be confused with Java) or a target="" attribute in a link are a few ways in which to spawn a new window. PHP itself does not (and cannot) spawn new windows on it's own. It is merely creates the HTML/Javascript that does it. > I'm > thinking that perhaps I should assemble some HTML, write it out to a > files, then open the HTML file. > > Is this the best way of going about it? > > Can it be done without actually writing the HTML to the disk? No because PHP does not interact with the client in the way you (seem to) think it does. The client never sees one bit of PHP. > How do I actually open the page once it's been created? See above. hth, Chris. p.s. This is not a jab at you, but I think you've had at least one other non-PHP related question in recent days. My suggestion is to join a web design list that deals with things web related in nature (i.e. HTML, Javascript, PHP, ASP, databases, etc.). You could try TheList found at www.evolt.org or webdesign-l (not sure where that was in found). Also, I think it's important that you seek to completely understand the difference between the server and client and how they interact. (Not to say you're not already doing this, and it's almost more of a natural progression than anything else.) Again, I'm not trying to be harsh, just helpful. And lastly, I've been known to completely misunderstand a person's question as well as underestimate a person's profficiency so forgive me if I've done that here. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
