opening new window after click on banner

I would like to have a counter that writes in a file how often a banner is clicked.
The script below works, but how do I add to this that once the banner is clicked this link in a (new) window opens up?
I've tried everything, but nothing seems to work.

I tried also to put ANOTHER a href with the link that needs to open in the new window after the existing a href.
Then the link works, but the counter doesn't anymore!

Please help???

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

if(!file_exists('counter.txt')){

  file_put_contents('counter.txt', '0');

}

if($_GET['click'] == 'yes'){

  file_put_contents('counter.txt', ((int) file_get_contents('counter.txt')) + 1);

  header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

  die;

}

?>



<head>

  <title>counter example</title>

</head>



<body>

  <a href="?click=yes"><img src="banner.jpg"> 

  </a>

</body>

</html>

have you tried putting target="_blank" after yes" ?

Yes, i tried that also...
There will be a new window opened, however... Firefox than says that the page is not redirected correctly, and the counter increases with 21 !!!

I just dont see how to go to another page when the ?click = yes.

Edit:
When using the target="_blank", the new window is called: http://www.mydomain/test.php?click=yes

Edit 2:
Lets say for test that the new page has to be google.com. <a href="http://www.google.com">

I find that John's suggestion works, like this:

Code:

<a href="?click=yes" target="_blank">

but it just creates a new tab in FF each time (I think there is a way to specify that the new window be a smaller popup, if that's what you want).

Edit: so you want a different site to open in a new window? This seems to work for me:

Code:

<?php

if(!file_exists('counter.txt')){

  file_put_contents('counter.txt', '0');

}

if($_GET['click'] == 'yes'){

  file_put_contents('counter.txt', ((int) file_get_contents('counter.txt')) + 1);

  header('Location: http://www.google.com');

  die;

}

?>



<head>

  <title>counter example</title>

</head>



<body>

  <a href="?click=yes" target="_blank">Click</a>

</body>

</html>

YES!!!!!!
Thanks Kh99

What i tried was:
header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['http://www.google.com']);

It was in the right direction, but that didn't work!
