Shawn, PHP is parsed on the server. That means that the functions,
variables, etc. are interrepted BEFORE they are sent to the browser, so
the link will show up "normal" and you won't have any problems. To see
for yourself just view the source of your webpage that uses php. You'll
see no php, only HTML and possibly javascript.
It's important to understand the difference between server-side languages
(like PHP) and client-side languages (javascript) so you might want to do
a little reading on them...
