    $TABLE_NAME='xxxxx';
    $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql');
    mysql_select_db($dbname, $conn) or die(mysql_error());

    }

/* fetch rows in reverse order */
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) {
    if (!mysql_data_seek($result, $i)) {
        echo "Cannot seek to row $i: " . mysql_error() . "\n";
        continue;
    }

    if (!($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))) {
        continue;
    }

    <tr>
        <td><a href=\"[B]".$Link[$j]."[/B]\" target=_blank> <img src=\"/images/news3.gif\" /> <font color=\"#FFFFFF\" size=3>".$NewsPapers[$j]."</font></a> </td>";
}

help me in this

echo "<tr><td><a href='$Link[$j]' target='_blank'> <img src='/images/news3.gif' /> <font color='#FFFFFF' size='3'>$NewsPapers[$j]</font></a></td>";

the html is screwed up,
a mix of xhtml and html,
attributes are required to be quoted,
dtd is required
some browsers will fail to render on this type of error

wrape code in [code=language] [/code] tages where language is html php asp etc. to make viewing simpler

like the instructions on the top of the page tell you

Do not use this code in your file, the poster has not bothered to read any part of your existing code and this generic crap will kill php at the first ?>

Looks like the other guys have allready answered this, But in case not:

$url = 'http://www.mysite.com'; // or $url = $lang[0];
$link = '<a href="'.$url.'" target="_blank">mylink</a>';
echo $link;

Thats the idea. you may need to modify slighty for your exact need but should do the trick.

Many thanks, Little Jon - that's very helpful

<a href="<?= $Lang[0] ?>" target="_blank">My Lang Link</a>

also

$url['google'] = "http://www.google.com";

echo "<a href=\"{$url['google']}\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a>";
