php...target='_blank'

Question

I want to open a new window after clicking a button and I'm trying to modify the code within Zencart. I think I'm trying to manipulate it in the right place... but I don't know how to go about it:

(For anyone that does know Zencart this was in the paypalwpp.php file, lines 1616-1618)

// This is where we actually redirect the customer's browser to PayPal. Upon return from PayPal, they go to ec_step2
    header("HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved");
    zen_redirect($paypal_url . "?cmd=_express-checkout&token=" . $_SESSION['paypal_ec_token'] . $userActionKey);

Here was my amateur attempt:

zen_redirect( "target='_blank'" . $paypal_url . "?cmd=_express-checkout&token=" . $_SESSION['paypal_ec_token'] . $userActionKey);

Of course, I added the "target='_blank'" and it isn't working... how could I go about opening a new window by modifying the above code? Thank You!

Answer 1

More than likely zen_redirect works like a normal redirect. What I mean is that you would not be able to specify the "target" parameter when doing a redirect.

The "target" parameter is a browser based attribute.

Redirects are server side, for the most part.

I think you are looking for something else, but I am not familiar with zen cart.

Answer 2

You need to do this on the page that contains the button, not the page that the button submits to.
