No worries, Ethan. Sometimes we all try to outsmart ourselves by doing
something new.
Can I ask why you're opening a new window? Could the script not simply be
included in the original PHP code and avoid the window open? I ask because
pop up blockers may inhibit the functionality required. Or could you
perhaps do an ajax request back to the server to fire off the script?
