williwaw Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi all, I am trying to have the link below open in a new window when someone clicks on it. foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) { echo "<li><a href={$item->link}>{$item->title}</a></li>"; } Thanks for the look!

williwaw Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wow, that was fast! Thanks again for your help...it works great. One more question-same problems but the code is a little different and I can't seem to make it work. echo "<p><href={$item->description}</p>"; Sorry about being a noob, but I did not notice the difference when I originally posted this thread.

jackpf Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Ok, what I did was put quotes " round the url (which isnt mandatory but is strongly suggested) and then escaped them with backslashes, so that php doesn't the the quote is ending the echo. I then simply added target="_blank" escaped with backslashes aswell, so target=\"_blank\" Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/146428-solved-target_blank-help/#findComment-768803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
