I am trying to post a link to a javascript popup on my PHP driven website. I have a code snippet, but always receive "syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING" error. Can anyone help me?

<pre>

<pre lang="xml">$File2 = "feed.html";
$msg2 = "A user has uploaded a file. To view it click <a
href='javascript:download('http://www.somesite.com/somefile/1/files/" . $filename .
')"'>Here</a>";</pre>

</pre>

Make sure you use

 tags effectively in future, that was a pain to decode.

Solution 1

$File2 = "feed.html";
$msg2 = "A user has uploaded a file. To view it click Here"';

You had an extra ' where it didn't belong:
')"'>Here"; (before the >)

You might want to use a tool with syntax highlighting, I recommend Netbeans: the price is right :D

Thanks for the quick reply.. I tried removing the ' before the >, although it did not seem to make a difference.
">Here< / a >";
