u would modify the header:
[PHP]header("Locatio n: http://google.ca");[/PHP]

of course u would put that in some kind of if statement or something cuz u wouldn't want it to redirect everytime it gets to that line in the php file (well sometimes u do).

good luck

header() wouldn't work at all in this situation, really. To click on a button, headers would have already been sent with the output.

Why do you need this on a button? Is this a form?

the want the button to open another php file...

Example: one of the them is a Categorie button. My objective is when i click it, it open a php file that has all the categories that the client can choose.

As i been seeing, i could use a form if i would got info to pass for the another page, but i just wanna open another page without passing any values...

Heya, Rambaldi.

Probably the easiest way to do what you're describing is to open a pop-up using window.open() on the JavaScript side.

I would avoid the use of JavaScript for this, as if JavaScript is disabled, it'd render the page useless.

The *smart* solution would be to ditch buttons and use links since that is what you are using them for. You can style links to look like buttons, but actual buttons are not what you want to use.

If you insist on using buttons, you can attach them to a form that posts to the next page.

[code=html]<form action="page.ph p"><input type="submit" value="Next Page" /></form>[/code]

I don't agree with using a submit button because he's not passing any values....

Try using javascript instead....

Most browsers support javascript already....

Try what pbmods said...
