I think you are trying to open one more page after getting some request from the client ? Javascript will work only on client side and the php header works in the server side . You can also open a new window like this <a href="somepage.html" target="_blank">Open in new window</a> > . The header() is mainly used for redirection and passing some information ( names and type ) to the browser from server . I don't think it will help you open another page ( ie one page opened in the same tab and other opening after some request ) . ( This is upto my belief . Experts can tell if i am wrong ) Hari K T http://harikt.com/ ________________________________ From: amit <paragchaure@xxxxxxxxx> To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 20 October, 2009 6:29:17 PM Subject: realated header hi All, can we use header() function instead of java script 'window.open( )', As window.open opens the document in a new page like pop-up like this can we use header()? how can we do?
