Hi,

I want to try and open up a hyperlink in a new window and am having a little difficulty below is my code:

echo "<a href = 'get_landlord_details_unregistered.php?userID=" . $userID . "'>";


I have tried including target="_blank" but I get error messages can anyone point me in the right direction?, also what are the properties to control the size of the opened up browser, for the link?

Thanks

Rich
 
ok, what error messages aer you getting? If you are literally adding target="_blank" to the echo statement then it will cause a parse error. You would need to escape the opena dn close double quotes:

Code:
echo "<a href ='get_landlord_details_unregistered.php?userID=" . $userID . "' target=\"_blank\">";

Alternatively, just wrap the string in a single quote fo the echo statement so you can use double quotes in the HTML.

Code:
echo '<a href ="get_landlord_details_unregistered.php?userID=' . $userID . '" target="_blank">';

Either should do the trick!

If it aint broke, redesign it!
