Zend framework redirector-> gotoUrl () with target = _blank

Question

When submitting the form, I want to send my visitor to an external url to do something, but I hope that he continues to browse my site. In html, I would give it this opportunity with href = "http://www.example.com" target = "_ blank".

But I can not find how to do this when I do this:

$this->_helper->redirector->gotoUrl('http://www.example.com'); 

inside my action with the controller. Nothing found on Google, documentation or SO. Is it just not possible?

Answer 1

Impossible. You cannot tell the browser what to do in this scenario.

Answer 2

You can achieve this effect with Javascript:

• submit the form
• when successfully opening a new tab with an external page using JS
• redirect to a new place in your application on the old tab

Answer 3

Now it’s possible:

$ link = new PTA_Link (); $ Link-> setTarget ('_ empty');
