prachi, you quote count is correct.
you have to realize here that not only php is expecting correct quoting,
html and javascript also do.
your fault is trying this with plain html
<a href="javascript.window.open("addfossilpage.php?me=1")">
which is not correct because of inline quotes in the href attribute.
the right version is
<a href="javascript.window.open('addfossilpage.php?me=1')">
in consequence, php echoing would be most effective like this
echo "<a
href=\"javascript:window.open('addfossilpage.php?me=$folder_id','width=430',
'height=450')\">";
note that $folder_id is stated within the string itself, this works because
you started the php string with double-quotes.
