I was wondering if anyone could help me here!

I made a custom main menu that I use on my site:

Code:

<?php 





if (eregi("block-mainmenu.php",$_server[php_self])) { 


    header("location: ../index.php"); 


    die(); 


} 





$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"index.php\">Home</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"modules.php?name=Docs&file=about\">About The Rant</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"advertising.html\">Advertise</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"modules.php?name=Contact\">Contact Us</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"faq.html\">Faq's</a><br />"; 


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"forums.html\">Forums</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"modules.php?name=kisgb\">Guest Book</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"modules.php?name=gallery\">Rant Girls</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"modules.php?name=Shopping_Cart\">Rant Store</a><br \>";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"submit.html\">Submit News</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"account.html\">Your Account</a><br />";


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"http://test.sportsrant.com/signon.php?\" target=\"_newwin\">Weekly Picks</a><br />"; 


$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"http://www.fantasyfootballfive.com/football/sportsrant/index.php\" target=\"_newwin\">Rant Fantasy League</a><br />"; 








?>

and I want to add this to the SUBMIT NEWS

link on the menu above!

this is the popup code that I wrote but it does not seem to put the Question

beside the submit news link:

Code:

echo"<script>"


  . ""


  . ""


  . "function openpopup(){"


  . "var popurl=\"http://www.sportsrant.com/submit.htm\""


  . "winpops=window.open(popurl,\"\",\"width=400,height=338,resizable,\")"


  . "}"


  . ""


  . "</script>"


  . ""


  . "<a href=\"javascript:openpopup()\">"


  . "<img border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.sportsrant.com/images/help.gif\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\"></a>";

Can someone help me out here, This is what I put the block together to look like but it is not working properly!

You should always use the WHEREDOC syntax when you need to quote more than a couple lines. Avoids all the \ escaping. This works real nice now Smile

Make sure that there are no spaces after the _MIKE_ and _MIKE_; tags, only carriage returns. The code works perfectly.
