    Opening links from a table

    I'm using the following code to display som items from a database.

    field_2 shows a link that is clickable. I would like to make it
    clickable but open the link in a new page (in a _blank way) instead of
    onto itself but I'm not sure how to do it.

    {
    echo "var point = new GLatLng(" . $row['field_5'] . "," .
    $row['field_4'] . ");\n";
    echo "var marker = createMarker(po int, '" .
    addslashes($row['field_1']) . "<br /><a href=\"" . $row['field_2'] . "
    \">". $row['field_2'] ."</a><br .>" . $row['field_3'] . "',3);\n";
    echo "map.addOverlay (marker);\n";
    echo "\n";
    }

      why not:
      {
      echo "var point = new GLatLng(" . $row['field_5'] . "," .
      $row['field_4'] . ");\n";
      echo "var marker = createMarker(po int, '" .
      addslashes($row['field_1']) . "<br /><a href=\"" . $row['field_2'] . "
      \" target='_blank' >". $row['field_2'] ."</a><br .>" . $row['field_3'] . "',3);\n";
      echo "map.addOverlay (marker);\n";
      echo "\n";

      }

          In our last episode,

          the lovely and talented phill.luckhurst @googlemail.com
          broadcast on comp.lang.php:
          I'm using the following code to display som items from a database.
          field_2 shows a link that is clickable. I would like to make it
          clickable but open the link in a new page (in a _blank way) instead of
          onto itself but I'm not sure how to do it.
          How exactly is this a PHP problem and not a Javascript problem?

                  hide in a corner and cry.

                      This kind of mess can be avoided by liberal use of printf.

                      printf("var point = new GLatLng(%f, %f);\n"
                      ."var marker = createMarker(po int, '%s<br /><a href=\"%s\">%s</a><br />%s', 3);\n"
                      ."map.addOverla y(marker);\n\n"
                      , $row['field_5']
                      , $row['field_4']
                      , addslashes(html entities($row['field_1']))
                      , addslashes(html entities($row['field_2']))
                      , addslashes(html entities($row['field_2']))
                      , addslashes(html entities($row['field_3']))
                      );

                      Or better still:

                      $markertext = sprintf('%s<br /><a href="%s">%s</a><br />%s'
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_1'])
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_2'])
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_2'])
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_3'])
                      );
                      printf("var point = new GLatLng(%f, %f);\n"
                      ."var marker = createMarker(po int, '%s', 3);\n"
                      ."map.addOverla y(marker);\n\n"
                      , $row['field_5']
                      , $row['field_4']
                      , addslashes($mar kertext)
                      );

                      This makes it clear where to add your target="_blank" :

                      $markertext = sprintf('%s<br /><a href="%s" target="_blank" >%s</a><br />%s'
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_1'])
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_2'])
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_2'])
                      , htmlentities($r ow['field_3'])
                      );
                      printf("var point = new GLatLng(%f, %f);\n"
                      ."var marker = createMarker(po int, '%s', 3);\n"
                      ."map.addOverla y(marker);\n\n"
                      , $row['field_5']
                      , $row['field_4']
                      , addslashes($mar kertext)
                      );

                      Though I'd avoid creating a popup like this -- it breaks the "back"
                      button and confuses users.

                          This is my first fray into coding so am greatful for your help. It's
                          quite a learning curve.
