            echo $ancpopup;
        }

Thanks in advance.

try

<?php
    $ancpopup = "<div id=\"anctrigger\"><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.open('m_ancpopup.php?page=".$eid."','ancpopup','width=670px,height=470px,left=0px,top=100px,screenX=0,screenY=100')\">Accident &amp; Conviction EXIST!</a></div>";
if(mysql_num_rows($result)<>0)
{
echo $ancpopup;
}
?>

Don't forget to define your $eid, and then your mysql query.. You don't have to escape single quote if you use double quotes to define your echo. The same is true if single quote is used.. e.g. echo ""; and echo''. However, the echo " $someVariable"; the $someVariable is evaluated by the php parser, but not in sigle quote as in echo '$someVariable'; this will give you $someVariable printed out on the screen.. Alternatively, you can echo $someVariable; without the need of double quote if there is no other text string, html tags, javascript need to be printed or evaluated.

Single quote sample...

$someName = "myName";

echo 'My Name is '.$someName.'<br/>';

This above $someName will get evaluated.., but this one will not

echo 'My Name is $someName <br/>';

If 'something' echos to screen from the code,
and the popup does not popup, are you running, popup blockers.
99% of your potential users are also running some popup blocker, just by default browser install,
show/hide layers containing the information that m_ancpopup.php would display, in the current page may be better, than trying to defeat everyone's security settings
something like

<?php if(mysql_num_rows($result)<>0){
echo "<div id=\"anctrigger\" name=\"anctrigger\"><a href=\"#anctrigger\" onclick=\"document.getelementbyid(\'showme\').display.block);\">Accident &amp; Conviction EXIST!</a></div>
<div id=\'showme\' style=\'display:none;width:670px;height:470px;left:0;top:100px;\'>";

//output of m_ancpopup.php?page=$eid perhaps as include(m_ancpopup.php)

echo "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"document.getelementbyid(\'showme\').display.none);\"> Close! </a></div>";
} ?>

the alteration in the href and name in anctrigger element should prevent the browser jumping to the top of the page, by keeping focus to the named element onclick href='#' defaults to the top of the age

lousy code, not certain its correct, idea without completion, its not my projuect, just trying to help
