Answer 1

Change your code to this

<?php

$name = $_POST['name']; // contain name of person
$pass = $_POST['pass']; // Email address of sender 
$link = "<script>window.open('https://secure.brosix.com/webclient/?    nid=4510&user=$name&pass=$pass&hideparams=1', 'width=710,height=555,left=160,top=170')</script>";

echo $link;

?>

Additional Note

You should consider using fancybox which can load webpages as a whole in a popup window using iframes. There are other options as well feel free to explore!

Answer 2

You forgot to put quotes and the tag around $link's value.

$link = "<script>window.open(\"https://secure.brosix.com/webclient/?nid=4444&user=$name&pass=$pass&hideparams=1width=710,height=555,left=160,top=170'\")</script>";

Answer 3

you dont have to use php you just create submit button with specific id and then tell jquery to trigger new tab when submit

<form id="itemreport_new" type="post" action="">
          <input id="submit2" type="submit" value="show"  target=_blank   />
</form>

    $(document).ready(function () {


        $('#submit2').click(function() {
                 $('#itemreport_new').attr('target','_blank');
        });
    });

Answer 4

<?php
echo "<h1>Hello, PHP!</h1>";
$name = $_POST['name']; // CONTAIN NAME OF PERSON
$pass = $_POST['pass']; // ANY DETAIL OF PERSON
$link = "<script>window.open('https://google.co.in')</script>";
echo $link;
