I already know how to open it using HTML and Javascript, but those methods cannot be used for this section of my application. I need to call and open the document in the browser window using PHP. Example: If I was going to do it with Javascript I would just use something simple like this; function open() { window.open('open.php'); } Or, if I was going to use HTML I would use something simlar to what you posted. How can I achieve that same functionality using only PHP? Or is it not possible?
