Indeed. If a browser is installed on the server, you can simply open a
browser window with exec(). Check the command line options of that browser
to open a certain page. Given enough rights, PHP will happily open a
browserwindow for you on the server.

If you mean that a window has to be opened by a remote client on a request:
not possible with PHP.

It might not be possible directly through PHP, but it is possible
indirectly.

<?

function openwindow($url, $title = "MyWindow", $width = 400, $height =
200)
{
?><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.open('<?= $url ?>','<?= title ?>','width=<?= $width
?>,height=<?= $height ?>);
</script>
<?
exit;
}
?>

PHP May be server side, but it writes all the content that is seen by
the user, so it is in effect, controlling the js.
