how it works? "onclick"

[Yohanne]

Hi all,

 

Could you help if what is the correct syntax for this?

 

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick = "window.open('newaccount.php?admin32=<?php echo substr(sha1($rows['a_id']),4,30) ?>','','top=60,left=250,right=200,width=300, height=500,menubar=no,alignment=center')">Account</a>

 

and when i remove line below the code is working.

?admin32=<?php echo substr(sha1($rows['a_id']),4,30) ?>

javascript runs on the client after php has finished execution on the server

You are missing the semi-colon from the end of the echo.

 

<?PHP echo substr(sha1($rows['a_id']),4,30); ?>

 

You would know that, if you had error reporting turned on.

Instruction separation

As in C or Perl, PHP requires instructions to be terminated with a semicolon at the end of each statement. The closing tag of a block of PHP code automatically implies a semicolon; you do not need to have a semicolon terminating the last line of a PHP block.

 

PS Forget my previous comment

Your onclick event code doesn't look like having any problem.

 

I believe it was your php code. Try load the page and view the source, look for the line. Because sometime if PHP throw an error inside the HTML tag, you can't view it on your page. Verify the PHP code before troubleshooting your javascript =)
