I am downloading a PDF that gets generated from a php file through GeneratePDF.php. However I would like to open another php file that downloads another PDF. I would like to achieve this with one single click using ahref tag. How do I achieve this? Set of phps I would like to open with one single click:

GeneratePDF.php
GeneratePDF2.php

<?php
session_start();
//

<td><a href="GeneratePDF.php" target="_blank"><button id="pdf" name="generate_pdf" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-pdf"" ></i>PDFs download</button></a></td>
//
?>

EDIT: Most importantly, how do I use onclick() function inside my above code. I am using php and the code given below does not really work. What am I doing wrong?

<td><a href="GeneratePDF.php" onclick= "window.open('GeneratePDF2.php');" target="_blank"><button id="pdf" name="generate_pdf" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-pdf"" ></i>PDFs download</button></a></td>

  • it is very likely a duplicate question and it does – Ethicist Apr 23 '22 at 23:38
  • Unfortunately the links I have used so far are to open pages. But my one line of code is for downloading multiple files. I dont know how to use that. – Arthur Apr 23 '22 at 23:39

  • I have updated few things in my question, could you please take a look at this? – Arthur Apr 24 '22 at 00:00
  • Could you please post it as an answer in relation to my code? I am finding it bit complicated from my end. – Arthur Apr 24 '22 at 00:14

It's actually pretty simple, just remove the href tag, and use 2 onclick functions:

<td>
  <a onclick="window.open('GeneratePDF.php');window.open('GeneratePDF2.php');" target="_blank">
    <button id="pdf" name="generate_pdf" class="btn btn-primary">
      <i class="fa fa-pdf">PDFs download</i>
    </button>
  </a>
</td>
