Links open inside random block rather than main frame

Hello all,

I posted this before in <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&amp;name=phpBB_14&amp;file=index&amp;action=viewtopic&amp;topic=903&amp;4" TARGET="_blank">this thread</A><!-- BBCode End --> but I got no answers so I figured I would try again.

At my site, <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://www.cyberclark.com/community/" TARGET="_blank">CyberClark.com</A><!-- BBCode End --> I have installed Nuke 6.0, <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://bbtonuke.sourceforge.net" TARGET="_blank">Tom's bbtonuke port</A><!-- BBCode End -->, and of course Gallery.

I installed Bahrat's Random Block code and it all worked fine in stand alone mode but for some reason when I put into a block just using standard .php code it gave me SQL errors for some reason. So per the advice given in the previous thread that I mentioned I put it in an iframe in the block and low and behold it worked, it shows a random image for me. But the one drawback is now when a user clicks on that random image or the links in that block rather than opening in the main frame they open in that same block :???:

I know in the html world I could just add a target=_main somewhere to get my content to go where I want it but when I try to add that to the href's I see in the .php I get SQl Parsing errors. Follows is the code for my block as well as the block-random.php, if any of you could please take a few minutes to look though this and let me know how I could possibly fix it I would be eternally grateful.

Here is the Block Code (the only change I made from how it was downloaded was to change the $rebuild=0 to 1 because I was having troubles with the cache.

Thanks in advance for any information or advice I know you are all busy with your own projects but this is the one last thing I really want to fix before I start to publicize my site to my family and friends and start adding all the pictures I have planned for my gallery.

Thank you so very much Joerg!!! I knew that it had to be a target command I just must have had the wrong syntax in the .php I'm so new to the php world I don;t know when I need a / or . or " in the code yet :grin:

I greatly appreciate your help!!!
