part of the code on a php script opens a page (from variable $errorurl) in the existing window, where the script was called from,
i want to change it to either open the page in a new browser window or a messagebox or alert, is this possible?

if ( ereg( "[\r\n]", $name ) || ereg( "[\r\n]", $email ) ) {
header( "Location: $errorurl" );
exit ;
}

How is this action triggered? Is it initiated by the user, or the script itself? If the former, there are ways of either specifying that a link should be opened in a new window (or tab) or manually opening a new window. If the latter, you're out of luck.

it is part of the php script, checking for input errors, from the submitted form, the php is in a separate file from the web page with the form

i used a workaround solution, to redirect the error page (browser back) after a short delay
