Re: [PHP] open a secondary window/tab in the browser from php
No, this is not possible. You have to do at least two requests, one to get the PDF, one to get the html confirmation message. Normally you would onle open the pdf in a new window using target=_blank for the link. Workflow isn't broken, but you have no confirmation message. There are several ways to do what you want with javascript, but without there is none. julian schrieb: Hi, I have an application that along filling in some forms, it produces a pdf file, as confirmation of all entered data. I want to send this pdf file to a different window/tab of the browser, so it is displayed and can latter be printed. In the mean time, the original window contains a confirmation message, to continue with the work flow. I would like to do this without use of JavaScript Any combination of headers ??

Re: [PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

Re: [PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters
Ah, i thought to remember that the limit is lower on IIS than on Apache,
maybe i've just some memory faults. ;)
GET is meant to define what to GET, not to define content. This sounds a
bit academic, but remember that the GET-args are a part of the URI and
so will also go into the http-log for example. One don't want to have
2kb per log-line. ;)
Additionally, please think of the great talent of users to fuck things
up: GET-args will become bookmarks, links etc. and WILL do funny things
when overused (session-ids...). ;)

?
session_start();
$_SESSION['error'] = $error;
$_SESSION['parameter'] = $parameter;
header(Location:.$data[rurl]);
exit;
?
And wherever you have your error handling, do:
?
session_start(); // If not called from a header.php-like start file.
if($_SESSION['error']) {
// Do something with $_SESSION['error'] and $_SESSION['parameter']
}
?
And for the record, it's not just the HTTP server that trims it, but
the browser generally does, as well, to avoid things such as memory
leaks, et cetera. Internet Exploder, for example, has had a limit of
2,083 total characters in a GET request, but the actual RFC for HTTP/1.1
has no limit for the protocol (RFC 2616 Section 3.2.1).
And slightly off-topic, but think about how much the web has changed
in the last 20 years (well, 17, since the HTTP protocol came about in
1990) and then think about the fact that it's all still based on
nothing higher than version 1.1.

Don't do that though..
