It is impossible to specify a window to open as a tab. Whether it opens as a new tab or a new window is entirely dependent upon the browser and its configuration. The best way to look at these situation is to not distinguish a tab from a window and move on from there.

Having said that, as others have already mentioned, it is impossible to open a new window via PHP. The header() function will do nothing more than a redirect of the current window. You need to have this occur via a standard link 

<a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_new" />

or JavaScript

window.open('http://www.google.com/');

In your particular case, you want to launch two, so you can do this (assuming you can use a link) by combining the two

<a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_new" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.stackoverflow.com/')" />

or launching both via JavaScript. Here's an example that will allow you to store target addresses in an array and launch them all:

window.onload = function() {
    var links = new Array('http://www.google.com/', 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/');
    for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
        window.open(links[i]);
    }
}

The links do not need to be absolute, so you can use relative paths such as ./print_register.php?recpt_no=.

Now, since you're pulling part of the address from the PHP, things get a little more complicated, but not by much. You, basically, just need to use the PHP to complete the rendered JavaScript:

<?php
    $recpt_no = 'RN426762';
?>
<html>
    <head>
        <script>
            window.onload = function() {
                var links = new Array('./print_register.php?recpt_no=<?php echo $recpt_no; ?>', 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/');
                for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
                    window.open(links[i]);
                }
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        ...
    </body>
</html>

You don't need to put the entire script into a PHP echo. Instead, write the code normal and echo the PHP variables where you need it. It'll keep the PHP-side of the code cleaner, and help a little with the performance, but probably not noticeable.

I hope this helps. ^^

With header it's just not possible. Header will redirect you to a page.

Something like this would work:

<a href='xy.php' target='_blank'>text</a>

PHP cannot do this, but you can do something very similar with JavaScript.

I have accomplished this before using jQuery, with a link and a simple 100ms timeout.

Checkout.
