load new window

[coderwasp]

i have this piece of code:

header('Location: feedbackPage.html');


It loads the next page. What I would like to do is load the page ina new window and close the current page. How would I do this?

you need to control this from the browser. in the relevant link or form tag include the attribute

target="_blank"

so a link would look like this

<a href="somepage.php" target="_blank">click me </a>

and a form tag

<form target="_blank" method="post" action="somepage.php" >
</form>

the problem is there is no link or form. This is a login page. As soon as the login is approved the browser needs to close this window and load a new window with the feedbackPage.html page.

Then you're stuck in the same window. PHP can't interact with the client. To close the browser window and open up a new one. That is Javascript territory. So you would have to redirect to the new page and have JS close the window and open a new one.
