Question

I have the following code:

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
    if(window.location.href.toLowerCase().indexOf('test') != -1) {
    }
    else
        window.open('http://google.com', '_parent', ''); 
    </script>";
echo "test";

The code executes successfully BUT if it will open http://google.com using window.open it still shows echo "test" before successfully redirecting to google.com.

Can I somehow prevent executing code after the else statement in the javascript (window.open('http://google.com', '_parent', '');)?

Thanks

EDIT: Does that seem that I just ask to ask? I thought that something might exist that I could use in javascript to stop browser from printing echo “test” if I reached else statement in javascript code.

You should understand this order.

1. PHP executes script and generate HTML/JS/etc
2. Then browser get it, parse and execute.

So you should use any of php condition to avoid printing “test” in some cases
