Conditional "target=_blank" ?

[dabb]

I have a form and 90% of the time I want the results to pop up in a new browser window. However, sometimes under certain circumstances I want the results to go ahead and appear in the current window instead of opening a new browser window. Is there any way to implement this sort of conditional browser window control in the forms action PHP file?

Thanks!

I am not sure how easy this would be to implement into your script, but something like this would work.

<?php if ($value == true): ?>

<a href="link.html" target="_blank">link</a>

<?php else: ?>

<a href="link.html">link</a>

<? php endif; ?>

Hope that helps.

The problem is that it is form results that I either want to show in a new window (ie: show a page from another website in a new window leaving the form on my site in the original window), or redisplay the form in the same window with an error message if bogus parameters are entered.

So I need to make this decision on the fly from the forms action script.
