[SOLVED] help with target= _blank in call

[circpros]

I'm trying to get this bit of code to call as it currently does, but to open in a new window.

 

{

$comment_link = "{$forum_folder}viewtopic.php?t={$topics[$i]['topic_id']}";

}

 

But I can't figure out where to put the Target="_blank". I keep trying, but everytime I get parse errors..... am I trying something that won't work here?

 

TIA

The code you have posted does not produce a hyperlink at all.

oops.... I've got to many snippets on the clipboard.

 

<a href=\"{$comment_link}\">Comments {$topics[$i]['topic_replies']}</a>

 

There is the section I wanted.....

 

 

WHen I try it like this:

 

<a href=\"{$comment_link}\" Target="_blank">Comments {$topics[$i]['topic_replies']}</a>

 

I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/xxxxx/public_html/forum1/topic_look.php on line 37

What is showing as

[/url]

is really a

</a>

.

 

Presumably the forum here is replacing the offending html.....

You need to escape the quotes if this is within a php string. eg;

 

<a href=\"{$comment_link}\" Target=\"_blank\">Comments {$topics[$i]['topic_replies']}</a>
