PHP redirect question

Hi

I currently have a php script for my own tracking of links which having retrieved the affiliate link from my database uses
header("Location: $redirect");
to send the visitor to the merchant site using the affilate link url

This all works fine.

However, now what I would like to do is be able to open another window from my php script, i.e. still open the merchant site in a browser window but also open a new window (which is going to contain a survey form - not that the content matters iro this question) - preferably as a pop-under.

I've been playing all morning on this and cant come up with a solution so any ideas would be very welcome.

Thanks

Keith

instead of having a header thing, you could make it output a html page, with a HTML redirect at the top. you know them http refresh things (cant remember name or code off hand) so that that send the user to the right page after 1 second or something.

then in the body of the html document have some javascript to pop up your survey window.

person clicks on redirect link, loads html page, survey pops up in background and browser shoots off to merchant page.
