HI Brandon, It's actually easy to do this is PHP. A <FORM> tag will take a TARGET window attribute that will let you control what happens after the form is processed. The resultant page can appear in a new window, in the parent window, to the same window the form was used, to the full browser window or to some named frame, i.e., TARGET=_blank or _parent or _self or _top or FrameName.
If you don't want to use the normal <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT> tag to make the window change happen, you can use a .gif or .jpg image to start the page change. <IMAGE TYPE="IMAGE" NAME="SUBMIT" SRC="CoolButton.jpg" WIDTH="20" HEIGHT="12" HSPACE="4" BORDER="0" ALT="Do It"></FORM> Obviously, since you are using php, you can make this very simple, just to make the window change or you can make the form processing do extra things, i.e., remember the persons name, some ID, ... Another not well known fact is that you can have multiple <FORMS> on a single page. I've seen a calendar that uses this technique with dozens of forms to make "edit" buttons for each event. Different INPUT type=hidden tags were used in each form to pass the date and event ID info. Good Luck Mike >I wanted to know how I could have php open a window.
