is there any PHP function for open page in new tab

Question

I have a form with action e.g. register.php

I also have a Google group API link -

https://groups.google.com/group/GROUPNAME/boxsubscribe?p=ConfirmExplanation&email=EMAIL_ID&_referer&hl=en

in short... Is there any PHP function for open page in new tab; on page load...

PHP is a server side language. You can accomplish this with javascript/html — JConstantine, Oct 09 '12 at 08:59
PHP does not open any links in any windows. It just creates script to do those things. — Dutchie432, Oct 09 '12 at 08:59
Simple answer like we all answered in this post: `No there is no such PHP function` — Ron van der Heijden, Oct 09 '12 at 13:32

Use the target attribute on your anchor tag with the _blank value.

Example:

<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Click Me!</a>

@Ali Impossible. PHP is a server side language. – Terry Harvey Jan 09 '16 at 15:32
Yes it's not possible but you should mention that it's not possible through PHP – AsgarAli Jan 09 '16 at 15:47
Please don't use `_blank`. Read more about it here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#Do_not_use_target_blank or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4964130/target-blank-vs-target-new/8867079#8867079. You could use: `_newtab`. – Julian Jun 14 '18 at 09:54
And how do you change this script to open in same/current tab? – Jun 28 '20 at 18:33

You can write JavaScript code in your file .

Put following code in your client side file:

<script>

    window.onload = function(){
         window.open(url, "_blank"); // will open new tab on window.onload
    }
</script>

using jQuery.ready

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
      window.open(url, "_blank"); // will open new tab on document ready
  });
</script>

You can use both PHP and javascript. Perform your php codes in the backend and redirect to a php page. On the php page you redirected to add the code below:

<?php if(condition_to_check_for){ ?>

    <script type="text/javascript">
       window.open('url_goes_here', '_blank');
    </script>

<?  } ?>

You can simply use target="_blank" to open a page in a new tab

<a href="whatever.php" target="_blank">Opens On Another Tab</a>

Or you can simply use a javascript for onload

<body onload="window.open(url, '_blank');">

This is a trick,

function OpenInNewTab(url) {

  var win = window.open(url, '_blank');
  win.focus();
}

In most cases, this should happen directly in the onclick handler for the link to prevent pop-up blockers, and the default "new window" behavior. You could do it this way, or by adding an event listener to your DOM object.

<div onclick="OpenInNewTab();">Something To Click On</div>
