I am using a PHP variable called LeagueLink. When the user is not logged in I want the variable to read the text (Already have a league…) followed by a link to a popup window. So far it is displaying correctly except when I click on the link nothing happens. I think I just have a syntax error from mixing so much PHP and JS, but I can’t figure out where. Please help make the popup window link work if you can…

<?php 
 // this starts the session 
 session_start();
 $_SESSION['userid'];
 $message = "";
 if ($_SESSION['userid'] == "") {
    $message = "You must create an account or sign in to play!";
    $LeagueLink = "Already have a league...<a href='JavaScript:newPopup(\"http://www.yourfantasyfootballreality.com/signin.php\");' class='two'>Sign In</a>";
 } else {
    $message = "Hello, " .$_SESSION['userid'] . " make your picks!";
 }

 ?>

    JavaScript:newPopup is a function that needs to be defined.

    I think what you are looking for is the following: You don’t need javascript to open the page in a new window. Just set the target property of the link to _blank.

    $LeagueLink = "Already have a league...<a href='http://www.yourfantasyfootballreality.com/signin.php' target='_blank' class='two'>Sign In</a>";

    EDIT: If you want it popping up, rather than opening in a new tab, you can resize it immediately after it is spawned. Add the following to your javascript.

    function newPopup()
{
var url='http://www.yourfantasyfootballreality.com/signin.php';
windowProperties = "toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,statusbar=no,height=500px,width=500px,left=50%,top=50%";
popWin = window.open(url,'newWin',windowProperties);
}

    and keep your PHP the same as before.
