Where do i insert this tag?

[Modernvox]

Hi Guyz,

 

Where do I insert this target=”_blank”?

 

echo "<a href=\"$url{$post[1]}\">{$post[2]}<font size=\"3\">{$post[3]}</font></a><br />";

  print "<BR />\n";

 

Seems no matter where i try to place it it displays with the results?

 

Thanks in advance.

echo "<a href=\"$url{$post[1]}\" target=\"_blank\">{$post[2]}<font size=\"3\">{$post[3]}</font></a><br />";

 

What was most likely happening is that the target you posted is using Smart Quotes and not straight, those do not get parsed correctly and tend to cause errors.

its a way of parsing the double quotes!

To put that statement in more correct terms, it escapes the double quote since you are in double quotes as if you do not there will most likely be a syntax error. Alternatively you could do this:

echo '<a href="' . $url . $post[1] . '" target="_blank">' . $post[2] . '<font size="3">' . $post[3] . '</font></a><br />';

 

And not have to escape any quotes. But either way works fine.

Yeah, this way looks alot more organized.

Thanks again, Presimo
