I have tried putting the target="_blank" in a number of places, this code comes from a rss reader but I don't want people to click and leave my site but to just open another tab

if($linked ) $msg = '<a href="'.$link.'" class="srssfetcher-link">'.$msg.'</a>'; // Puts a link to the posts

The reason it's not working is because you haven't separated your link attributes properly. Try outputting the href and the target with proper separation (ie, close your quotes).

Use this:

<a href="offtask.php?taskid=$taskid" target='_blank'>

instead of 

<a href="offtask.php?taskid=$taskid target='_blank' ">

Your target attribute is stuck inside your href attribute. Try this:

$html=<<<html
<tr><td>$i.<a href="offtask.php?taskid=$taskid" target="_blank">$title</a></td><td>$count</td><td class="nowrap">$locationtext</td></tr>
html;
echo $html;

look at the code output by that code. It will look like this:

<tr><td>$i.<a href="offtask.php?taskid=$taskid target='_blank' ">$title</a></td><td>$count</td><td class="nowrap">$locationtext</td></tr>

and you want it to be 

<tr><td>$i.<a href="offtask.php?taskid=$taskid" target="_blank">$title</a></td><td>$count</td><td class="nowrap">$locationtext</td></tr>

That is:

<a href="url" target="_blank">link</a>
