[RESOLVED] Syntax to add "target=_blank" into a link in a loop

[turtleton09]

Can't quite seem to get the syntax for this...

Basically the line is:

<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/hit_counter2.php?LodgeID=" . $row['LodgeID'] . " \" >" . $row['Lodge'] . " </a>

And I just need to add the target="_blank" part so that links open in a new window.

Thanks.

Not sure if I follow, are you using an echo for this or is it in a HTML-context?

If in a html-context:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/hit_counter2.php?LodgeID=<?= $row['LodgeID'] ?>"  target="_blank"><?= $row['Lodge'] ?></a> 

If in an echo-context:

The quotes in target="_blank" will probably have to be closed using \, put it before the quotes and it will work.

Thank you - I always seem to get confused by those back slashes - some sort of mental block!
