[mapserver-users] PHP, HOW??: Returning Results to Multiple W indows

[Puneet Kishor]

afaik, you can't tell the server to "push" two windows. However, you can
readily tell the client to spawn an additional window that "pulls" the
correct script from the server.

attach a window spawning function to any client-side object that fires
either by user interaction or by onload.
