php redirect header problem.

[gpigate]

Ok I have never seen this happen before and its driving me crazy.

I have a very simple form that has a list of states in it. On submit it sends the id of the form element back to itself. I retrieve the id from the $_POST element. I then send an output header to the results page passing the post variable as a parm.

Problem with this particular form is it in insists on opening the called page in a new window.......

<form action="mods/class/search.php" method="post" name="search" target="_blank">
                    <select class="TextField" name="state_id" size="1">
                    <option value="">Select A State</option>
                        <?php
                        $ssql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_states where country = 'USA' ORDER BY name");
                        while ($state = mysql_fetch_array($ssql)) {
                            echo "<option value=\"".$state['id']."\"";
                            echo ">".$state['name']."</option>\n";
                        }
                        ?>
                    </select>&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="submit" value ="Submit" name="submit"  class="Submit">

</form> 




if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $state_id = $_POST['state_id'];
  header("Location: ../../index.php?page=mods/class/results&state_id=".$_POST['state_id']."");
  
}

anyone have any ideas why its forcing the page to open in a new window?
