php links in a CMS, how to open in new window??

builderoo

Hi, i have this command in my php (web page output) script

<?php
echo $global_data["links"];
?>

and i need to edit this somehow to make links opening in a new (blank) window rather than within the same one as is with the above php line.

Can i insert something to the above line to make this happen or is it all far more complicated??

If there is something i can edit in, please let me know what and how it must look like, thanks

Well, opening links in new windows has nothing to do with PHP - just the HTML/Javascript/etc. that PHP outputs.

Yes, you can manipulate HTML using PHP, but you haven't shown us what the HTML looks like (or even how it's generate), so we have no way of knowing how to help.

<body>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<td valign="top" style="border:solid 1px #bbc; -moz-border-radius: 8px; -webkit-border-radius: 8px; -khtml-border-radius: 8px; -o-border-radius: 8px; border-radius: 8px;">
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; padding-left:8px; padding-bottom:8px;">Keyword search:</p>

        <div id="search"><?php echo $global_data["search"]; ?></div>

end of body end of html

It is a template file for a CMS system i can not get support for because it's just a small one.

The PHp bit in red simply inserts whatever link i enter on this spot within my CMS Admin - inside which i however have no option to enter the usual target="_blank" HTML command line unfortunately, so i hope there is a way to add it to the PHP template instead???

Without using Javascript, no, there's nothing you can add to the HTML outside of the <a> tag to make the link open in a new window.

Examine the HTML output by the echo $global_data["links"] line and use [man]str_replace/man to alter the <a> tag to include target="_blank".
