I have many different submit button. <input value="Update" type="submit"> <input name="DPRmode" value="Enter Data" type="submit"> When php processes value="Enter Data", I would like to open a new window, but only if I click this one. Possible? I knw ther is an HTML target="" thingy. Can PHP do anything magic? No, it can't. PHP is a *serverside* language, while opening a new window is fully *clientside*. You could, after recieving the form submission, send back a redirect which opens in a new window; but far easier would be to use javascript which would open a new window on submission instead.
PHP is definitly the wrong choice for things like opening browser windows.
