Question

I can’t seem to add a target to the URL without getting an error :/
Could anyone please be so kind to help out? Thanks!

<?php 
echo "<a href=\"".$banner[$random]['link']."\"><img src=\"".$banner[$random]['img']."\" border=\"0\"></a>";
//result
?>

I’ve tried this solution;

echo "<a href=\"".$banner[$random]['link']."\"><img src=\"".$banner[$random]['img']."\" border=\"0\".'" target="_blank"></a>";

This is the full code (it’s a random image + URL script):

<?php 
$banner[1]['link'] = "http://www.url.com";
$banner[1]['img'] = "/banners/square_1.jpg";

$banner[2]['link'] = "http://url.com";
$banner[2]['img'] = "/banners/square_2.jpg";

//number of banners
$banners=2; 

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);     

$random = rand(1,$banners);     

echo "<a href=\"".$banner[$random]['link']."\"><img src=\"".$banner[$random]['img']."\" border=\"0\"></a>";
//result
?>

Just use:

echo "<a href=\"{$banner[$random]['link']}\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"{$banner[$random]['img']}\" border=\"0\"></a>";

I’m a big fan of the curly brackets for readability.

But I’d, personally, do it like:

echo "<a href='{$banner[$random]['link']}' target='_blank'><img src='{$banner[$random]['img']}' border='0'></a>";

for even easier readability.
