Hello all,
For a banner management system i use a
header("Location: http://www.awebsite.com");
to redirect to the proper website. Is it possible to force this header script to open in a new window?

A:
No. If you want a new window, you have to deliver the redirect as HTML/Javascript.

Which is gross. And unkind.

No argument. It's all kind of gross to me once the word 'banner' comes into it.

And if I can't use js are there other options?

Obviously the best thing is if you can get a target="_blank" into the original link, like legenden says. (It wasn't thinking you had control over that.) If for some reason you can't push JS to the client (I assume there's a social reason for that, since it's pretty much impossible for there to be a technical reason), you're pretty much out of luck; all you could do would be to send HTML with a link and ask the user to click on it.
