Thank You for your prompt reply. Well, I have already tried these two options but somehow they dont work. When I click on the hyperlink created by this line, the link just says javascript:window.open( Why would that happen? It is ok with the first quote, but it ignores everything after the second one. thanks, Prachi.

OR echo ' . " ?,?width='430","height=450"' )?>'; ----- Original Message ----- From: "prachi shroff" To: "php php" Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 9:38 AM Subject: [PHP-WIN] newbie problem with quotes > > Hi! > > I am a newcomer to the list and am also new to working with PHP.

I cannot separate the javascript thing into a different javascript function and call the function because the TITLE and BODY of this HTML page start in another php program and declaring a javascript function there does not help, as the call here does not recognize that function. > > The problem with putting the following line in the echo statement is the quotes. Because there are a lot of instances of quotes which I need PHP to ignore. Putting slashes manually or using addslashes does not help.
