pop-up problem

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to create a pop-up using PHP or other language to do the same thing as JavaScript window.open method. I have an app that uses the JavaScript popup but now with those popup stopper it will not always work. For I am looking for another way of creating popups. Does anyone know of a way other then window.open to control the window's size and remove things like the toolbar, address bar, etc.. Is there a way to control is through PHP and the header information? or I am look for something that doesn't exist. Thanks, Mark.
