How? How is it not working properly? What is it supposed to do and what does it actually do?

For the new window you can put target=_blank on your form.

The page is going to show whatever you grabbed from that vitavi.php script. If you don't like that then you have to make it grab another part of the page or maybe even a different page entirely. What page that would be, I have no idea because I don't know what that site is.

You can restate your first post all you want but it's not going to help make any progress with answering (or re-answering) your questions.

If you want to program with PHP then you have to actually learn some of it. I'm not going to give you code you can just copy/paste and make all your problems go away.
The $response had the HTML from that page you scrapped, up until it was overwritten to have only a part of the HTML. If that "part of the HTML" doesn't have what you want to include on the page then you need to change the code so that it does get what you want to include. I don't know the source HTML, and frankly have no idea how Michael (in that SO post) somehow knew your situation without you having said, well, anything to clue him in. So unless you want to keep shopping around for help, either free or paid, you're going to have to start getting your hands dirty with PHP code.
