The simplest way to make a link open a new browser window is to add the following to the <a> tag:

target="_blank"

The underscore and the spelling are important.  I don't know if it is case sensitive.

The new window will be the default size for the browser.  You don't have control over this unless
you use a _javascript_ window.open() method.  The technique is different and it doesn't work at all
if _javascript_ is turned off in the browser.  The target works without JS.

If you wanted every link on a page to open to a new window you could put the following in the
<head> portion of your HTML:

<base target="_blank" />

Of course, these aren't actually PHP questions.
