Below is my code. The problem is on the 'javascript:ViewPage(article_1.html)'; How to code the quote inside the ViewPage function since im using the
echo "....." ;
<?
echo "
<script language='javascript'>
function ViewPage(url)
{ OpenWin = this.open(url, 'CtrlWindow', 'toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
}
</script>
<tr><td><a href='javascript:ViewPage(article_1.html)';>Article1</a></td><tr>
";
?>
it should be
<a href="javascript:ViewPage('article_1.html')";>Article1</a>
echo "....." ;
<?
echo "
<script language='javascript'>
function ViewPage(url)
{ OpenWin = this.open(url, 'CtrlWindow', 'toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
}
</script>
<tr><td><a href='javascript:ViewPage(article_1.html)';>Article1</a></td><tr>
";
?>
it should be
<a href="javascript:ViewPage('article_1.html')";>Article1</a>
You can "escape" the quotes
that's just putting a \ before them. Tells PHP to leave them alone.

Two important things:
1. You can enclose single quotes within double quotes WITHOUT escaping them and vice versa.
2. You should echo each line inidivdually.

For instance, lets say I have a function called getTable() I would expect it to return me a string of html formatted code for a table of data. I would then be able to call it with
echo getTable($result);
this will make the code faster and more modular. It probably takes us way beyond the original post but...
buried deep within my site I have some info on coding standards which also covers this.

I don't disagree with you, but how exactly would you do what you are talking about with the code provided by the original poster ?
actually.... i would do it like this (use straight html when you can... its quicker):
<? // does anything really need to be here? ?>
<script language="javascript">
function ViewPage(url)
{ OpenWin = this.open(url, 'CtrlWindow', 'toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
}
</script>
<tr><td><a href="javascript:ViewPage('article_1.html');">Article1</a></td><tr>
otherwise.... echo 'a bunch of '.$stuff.' here';
or... echo "whatever you $want";
escaping works, but makes it a pain to move chunks of html out of <?php?> sections
