need php code advice

[finlander]

Is there any way of nesting the call code, for a java popup window, within a php 'content' or 'define' element. I want to do this in a php template file --

$content .= '<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal-outside','olcwhatispaypal','toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, width=400, height=350');"><img src="includes/images/paypal_logo.gif" alt="We accept PayPal and Credit Cards" title="We accept PayPal and Credit Cards" width="140" height="162" border="0" /></a>

-- but the punctuation inside the java code does not work well with the rest of the punctuation, and so it won't work. Is there a way of nesting or do I have to use traditional php echo to accomplish this?

thank you..

escapes! Got it to work with escapes. Still need to check for compatibility w/ IE6 and IE7.

There are still some extraneous attributes that I need to remove, but this calls a popup window with code (PayPal's suggested code) nested in the php $content element in the tpl file. It could also go in the 'define' element of the 'defines' file in languages, and then get called to the $content element in the tpl file.

$content .= '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center"></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open(\'https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal-outside\',\'olcwhatispaypal\',\'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, width=400, height=350\');"><img src="/images/icons/paypal_logo.gif" alt="We accept PayPal and Credit Cards" title="We accept PayPal and Credit Cards" width="140" height="162" border="0" /></a><br style="padding-bottom: 1px;" /></td></tr></table>';

Isn't there already a PayPal sidebox for that?

yes .. but it needs a bit of tweaking, and I wanted to use the trimmer popup window code suggested by PayPal, rather than the open whole browser code carried in Fowler's mod. I did start with Fowler's code, which I think was previously an effort of Kurori? I also blended the Fowler code a bit w/ the most recent iteration of the InstantSSL sidebox code, which I also adapted for PositiveSSL by Comodo ..
