How can PHP interact with JavaScript to achieve the desired functionality of opening a Word document and a new page at the same time?
To achieve the desired functionality of opening a Word document and a new page at the same time, you can use PHP to generate the necessary JavaScript code. PHP can output JavaScript functions that open the Word document in a new tab or window while also redirecting the current page to a new location.
<?php
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("path_to_word_document.docx", "_blank");
window.location.href = "new_page.php";
</script>';
?>
