ahh, of course.
I was doing it wrong, the success status would leave the page as it is, and just open the file saver over the parent page.
the failed status would redirect the parent to login. this is great.
Cheers, i do make life complicated for myself. thanks a lot m8.

I'm thinking you don't need a popup window at all then. Just use a PHP conditional. Redirect them to the file if they are active, or redirect them to the login page if they are not.

<?php
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(username)){
header(\"Location: LOGIN\");
}
else
{
header(\"Location: FILE\");
}
?>

The browser default.

Is the "save file" window one of your pages, or are you referring to the browser's safe file dialog?

A downloader file.
It boots up in a popup window, and if they are loggin in, it converts the popup window into a "save file" window.
if they are not, it closes the window, and directs the main page into the login area.
with me?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
