Directing server php return page

How do I have the server-side php script open up a new client window, rather than having it return
to the client page that invoked the php script in the first place? I want to preserve the original
client page. Or if I could do it, better yet, is there a way to have the php script return to the
same window, but a new page, thereby preserving the original client page?

Thanks for your help,
Don

This is usually achieved in the client side HMTL, so to produce that
code in your PHP would be something like;

echo '<a href="http://your.url.com" target="_blank">Link</a>' . "\n";

Or if I could do it, better yet, is there a way to have the php script

Not entirely sure I know what your asking here. To have a form, for
example, submit to itself and you return to the same page;

echo '<form action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '" name="formName">';

and to retrieve values use;

$_REQUEST['formElementValue'];

Does this help??

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your prompt response. I'm really having trouble with this one. I still want the PHP
script to return it's own page, but I don't want to return it to the same client window that
contained the page which invoked the PHP script in the first place. How does your first example do
that? It looks to me like it will open up a new page (from a new URL), and not the return page from
the PHP script.

Thanks,
Don
