I have the following part of code in a PHP file and I want to know if there's a way to make the URL open in a new window instead of the same window. It might be a dumb or easy question, but I'm not too familiar with PHP

header("Location: http://www.website.com" );

Let me know if this is possible, and if so, how. Thanks.

Can't do that with PHP. You'll need JavaScript for that.

How could I do it with javascript?

Well, if you have to communicate with a server-side script you will need to use ajax to have the server do that work and then return whether or not it was successful or not. If it was successful just use window.open() to open a new window.

This can be easily done using javascript

window.open('http:list.2lessons.com','_blank');
