window.open in a php script

[Joker7]

Hi-I'm stuck again can anyone help me out here.
I'm trying to open a frame less window (popup) from within a PHP script
this is what it looks like before I had a play (

$link = "<a
href=\"news.php?renew=0&mid=".$message_info->tp_message_id."&sign=".$sign."\
">";

My try

$link = '<a href="news.php?renew=0&mid="'.$message_info-onClick="javascript:
window.open('http://"news.php?renew=0&mid="'.$message_info-','rad','width=25
0,height=285,top=200,left=300,screenX=200,screenY=300,scrollbars=no,resizabl
e=no');return false;" target="_self">tp_message_id.'&sign='.$sign.'>';

With my try the whole thing goes to pot.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in
/home/site/public_html/news/web/show_header.php on line 450

Regards
Chris

When you cause PHP errors by modifying PHP code that you
don't understand, you should ask for help in a PHP group.

I have and PHP groups say go and ask in Javascript groups ( as it's a
Javascript problem.

Definitely a PHP problem, the javascript is never called.

They're just trying to blow you off.

Here's the line before you mangled it. I've separated it into separate lines at
the concatination operators "."

$link = "<a href=\"news.php?renew=0&mid=" .
$message_info->tp_message_id .
"&sign=" .
$sign .
"\">";

Every thing there from the opening \" (on the first line) to the closing
\" (on the last line) is what's being assigned to the HREF attribute.

When you edited it, you dropped code beginning with "onClick" right smack
in the middle of the second operand. That's a PHP error.

the beginning of the line you wound up with is:

$link = '<a href="news.php?renew=0&mid="' .
$message_info-onClick="javascript:window.open('http://"

I'm guessing that you thought that the ">" marked the end of the
<a> tag, but in this context, it was actually part of the "->" operator.
So, in addition to breaking the "$message_info->tp_message_id" identifier,
you've added a second "=" to an assignment statement. That's what the PHP
compiler was complaining about.

These are all PHP errors.

That's because you're mucking around with the apostrophes. You start
your string with ', then you have them in your window.open function,
then you have them dotted through the code. Use \'.
