    Resolved [RESOLVED] open page in new window

    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?

    Code:
    if ( ereg( "[\r\n]", $name ) || ereg( "[\r\n]", $email ) ) {
    	header( "Location: $errorurl" );
    	exit ;
    }
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: open page in new window

    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
