form page



<form name="aaa" id="aaa" action="page1.php" method="POST" target="_blank">
....
<div><input type="submit" value="Insert"></div>
</form>


page1



<?php
//do stuff and generate pdf
header("Location: page2.php");
?>


page2



<?php
//do same stuff above and generate xml
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.xml");
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
...
?>

          Unfortunately that's not directly possible in one call.
          Each HTTP response can return for example one response, one file or a redirect.



          Possible solutions:



          • Combine both files in a zip Archiv Download multiple files as a zip-file using php

          • Print out 2 IFrames - the src is a page returning a file (kind of your page2) - one iframe taget returns the xml the other pdf
