The following will open a new browser window and load the href in

If that isn't what you are looking for, please give a little more
details.
You're killin' me, Jim! :)
I need to open the file from the server, using PHP. I already know
how to
open it using HTML and Javascript, but those methods cannot be used
for this
section of my application.
I need to call and open the document in the browser window using PHP.
Example: If I was going to do it with Javascript I would just use
something
simple like this;
function open() {
window.open('open.php');
}
Or, if I was going to use HTML I would use something simlar to what
you
posted.
How can I achieve that same functionality using only PHP? Or is it
not
possible?
You need to know the mime type for the file you're serving. Call
header('Content-Type: x/y'); where x/y is the mime type. Then call
readfile('/path/to/file/on/server'); to output the file to the browser.
