[SOLVED] Returning a string from a function (XTRA SIMPLE - yet Im stumped)

[Guest upirate]

if (isset($search))

{

return "<A HREF=javascript:popUp(emailsearch.php?mysearch=".$search.")>Email Search to Friend</A>";

}

 

 

something wrong in my return statement. The popup window is not opening.

All you need to do is this:

if (isset($search))
{
  echo "<a href="javascript:popUp(emailsearch.php?mysearch=".$search.")">Email Search to Friend</a>";
}

same thing as before. The popup window will not open due to malformed html.

So correct the HTML.....

Actually the HTML is fine, its the javascript that is the problem.

This is a PHP forum.

[Guest upirate]

Its not the javascript problem.

 

the string that I am returning is not formed well    its php syntax

[Guest upirate]

actually it was my fault.

 

it was the search variable .

 

 

thanks again!!!

Its also the way it is echo'ed

Should be:

if (isset($search))
{
  echo '<a href="javascript:popUp(emailsearch.php?mysearch='.$search.')">Email Search to Friend</a>';
}

Can try this

echo "<a href=\"emailsearch.php?mysearch=".$search."\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href);return false;\" target=\"newWin\">Email Search to Friend</a>";
