Open a new link in an if statement with PHP

Question

I have the 'else if' statement below, and I want to open a new page in my host (main.html), if the entry password is correct.

<?php
$var1="1";
$pass=$_POST['password'];
if ($pass==$var1) 
{
echo "ok";

 //***here is your help***

}  

elseif ($pass=="")
{echo "No Entry";
}
else { echo "Wrong Password";}

?>

Please suggest a PHP code for opening a new window.

Thanks.

Solution 1

PHP won't be able to handle opening a new window for you. The most you can do is a redirection.

header('Location: http://destination.com');

Opening a new window can be done with JavaScript

window.open('http://destination.com');

Solution 2

header('Location: http://host/'.[your new page]);
exit;

Solution 3

you may use

header("location:pagename.php");

Open in new window

window.open('pagename.php');

Solution 4

Use header to redirect:

<?php
    $var1="1";
    $pass=$_POST['password'];
    if ($pass==$var1) 
    {
        echo "ok";
        header('Location: main.html');
        exit;
    } 
    elseif ($pass=="")
    {
        echo "No Entry";
    }
    else 
    { 
        echo "Wrong Password";
    }
?>
