Dumb noob struggling with semicolons etc

[olecrooner]

Hi all, this is probably a really 'dumb one'.

I have an event with an attached 'onclick' action, but I keep getting T_String and T_Variable errors, so my syntax is obviously way off. Here's the code:

$eventprnt = 'onclick="window.location.href ='$http://www.google.com"';

I'm actually trying to hack a Joomla component to suit my requirements a little better, the code currently opens a window (which I don't want) and looks like this:

$eventprnt = 'onclick="window.location(\'index.php?option=com_coupon&view=coupons&task=print_coupon&id='.$item->id.'\')" ';

I'm sure it's an easy fix, but to me it's all Chinese.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated

You probably want this:

$eventprnt = 'onclick="window.location.href =\'$http://www.google.com\'"';

However, if $http is a PHP variable, then the above is wrong since you won't get variable interpolation when using single quoted strings in PHP. You can either change to use concatenation or double quoted strings:

$eventprnt = "onclick=\"window.location.href ='$http://www.google.com'\"";
