Problem expressing multiple variables

[Guest]

Hi Folks

 

I have been puzzling over the following expression for 4 or 5 hours and have come to the conclusion the answer is laughing at me cause it in front of my face

 

I am simply trying to call up a popup window. The original expression was

 

 echo'<a href= "java script:popupWindow(\''.tep_href_link($products_specific_helpfiles_names).'\')"> <font color ="#0000FF">Click here for advice on this product</font>.</a>';

 

I want to substitute data from a table which I have passed to a variable for the

 

Click here for advice on this product

 

I have tried all sorts but I keep getting errors or blank space, for example

 

 echo'<a href="java script:popupWindow(\''.tep_href_link($products_generic_helpfiles_names).'\')"><font color="#0000FF">"  "<?php echo $products_generic_helpfiles_clickthru; ?> </font>.</a>';

 

Just comes up with

" "

 

Please can some kind soul give me guidance or the correct syntax before I lose all my marbles!

 

Thank you

I knew the answer was there laughing at me.... For those who might have a similar problem and are searching for an answer

 

The Problem

 

I was trying to call a popup help file to which of course you can add a text descriptor

 

<a name="label">Text to be displayed</a>

 

But I wanted to be able to insert the text descriptor from a table. Whilst there will be other solutions the one I hit upon is

 

echo'<a href= "java script:popupWindow(\''.tep_href_link($products_specific_helpfiles_names).'\')"> <font color ="#0000FF">Click here </font></a>';

echo $products_specific_helpfiles_clickthru;

 

The first line calls up the popup and has the "generic" part of the text descriptor

 

The second line comes from a table and follows immediately after the generic text descriptor so it looks all one line

 

Cheers
