Answer 1

window.open does (surprise) open a new browser window. Are you sure there is no pop-up blocker active in your browser? Otherwise you might miss the popup. You can debug Javascript with the F12 debugging tools in all major browsers. Set a breakpoint to the window.open line and see if the line is called. Some pop-up blockers also log to the console also available via F12

Answer 2

window.open() unfortunately has a way of getting 'blocked' by most browsers as an 'unwanted' pop-up if used during a page load - it is probably advisable to use a different way of calling the window.open() statement. An alternative way to accomplish what you are attempting (and side stepping popup blockers) is to consider changing your statement in app_print.php:
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>var url='app_print.php?id=$cur_date&c_name=$name';window.open(url)</script>";
to something like:
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.onload=function () { window.location='/app_print.php?id=$cur_date&c_name=$name' }; </script>";
and thus not using window.open() at all.
