how can I do this???

I have the following function, but as I am not a pro programmer, I don’t know how to achieve my goal. here is the code and I will explain what I wanted below.

$menu = $db->GetAll($sql); foreach ($menu as $row) { $label = '<a href="'.$row[MENU_URL].'">'; $label .= $row[MENU_TITLE]; $label .= '</a>';

What I wanted to do is id $label .= $row[MENU_TITLE]; contains http://, then open that link in a new tab. I am sure there many great progrmammers who can achieve this with few ways, I am sure Jeff will do it in seconds…. as many others can do it.

Please someone help me to solve this problem

Thank you

Hi Zaheen,

You can use the strpos function to check for the http within the string and then conditionally add the target=”_blank” attribute to your anchor

Thank you very much for the reply… and I am glad to say Sean helped me with if( substr($row[MENU_URL], 0, 4) == "http") { to solve the problem and now its ok

Anyways this is so great forum to get help.

Thank you again

Zaheen
