Have you tried something like writing some javascript to the popup page when it reloads that redirects the main window and closes the popup.  Something like: 
  
window.opener.location.href  = '<new_location>'; //sends window1 to new location 
window.close(); //closes window2

Hi folks, 

This isn't so much a problem with PHP, but I hope someone can help out 
with some JavaScript issues I'm having. 

With IE6 (this app only needs to support IE6) I have Window 1 (main 
browser window) and Window 2 (popup). The user enters some information 
into the popup and submits the form, which PHP then processes and sends 
a header('Location: http://somewhere/whatever'); back to the popup. 

The problem is, I need to get the parent window (Window 1) to be 
redirected, while the popup (Window 2) closes. Any ideas on how to 
either: 

1) Have the popup send it's new location (from the PHP form processor) 
back to it's parent. 

2) Or, have the parent see where the popup would be redirected to, and 
redirect itself? 

3) Or something else. 

I've looked at MS's JScript and DOM/etc pages, but I don't see anything 
useful. If this isn't possible (I suppose it could be a security 
problem) I'll have to figure some other way of doing it. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I'm about to go back to 
text-based browsers :) 

Thanks, 

H
