You can use the values stored in php variables in constructing a web 
page.  Suppose the following php variables have been defined and their 
values assigned using php:

$contentURL, $windowName, $windowWidth, $windowHeight

You can construct the JavaScript window open statement inside the <script> 
tags like this:

<?php
printf ( "window.open(%s,%s,%s,%s);", $contentURL, $windowName, 
$windowWidth, $windowHeight );
?>

or alternatively:

<?php
echo "window.open($contentURL,$windowName,$windowWidth,$windowHeight);";
?>

The definitive php manual is at:

<http://www.php.net/>
