Any php sorts around?

Using dodosmail for email ordering. Want to make a small change but know absolutely sweet FA of php.

for($i = 0; $i < count($required_fields); $i++) {
$required_var_name = $required_fields[$i];
if(empty($$required_var_name)) {
include_dodosmail_header($dodosmail_header_file);
echo "<p class=\"DodosMailError\">DodosMail Error - the required field ".dodosmail_error_handle($required_var_name)." is not filled.\n";
echo "<br /><br /><a href=\"javascript:history.back(1)\">Back</a>\n";
echo "</p>\n";
include_dodosmail_footer($dodosmail_footer_file);
exit;
}
}

Obviously that produces an HTML error message in current browser. What I would like to do is to make it open the same content in a new/popup page.

Ta for any idea.

Just echo out some javascript that opens a new window when run. PHP cant do it directly.

PHP runs on the webserver and just passes the results to the browser.

As SockPuppet said, you would need to output some client side script (Java Script / VB Script) to tell the browser what to do.


Off the top of my head Something like this should do it:

echo '<script language="JavaScript">window.open("http://www.contractoruk.com"); </script>';
