php served image as a link

Hi,
I have php pulling information from an sql database and posting it for the end user. The image is pulled with a variable and I have been trying to make the image a link also. The link would open the source image in a new window at its un-confined size. I have tried a few ways but keep screwing it up. Here is the working code.
echo " <br><TABLE border = '1' cellspacing = '0' cellpadding ='0' width = '75%' align='center'>
<TR>
<TD rowspan=\"6\" bgcolor=\"#990033\"><div align=\"center\">";
if (@fclose(@fopen("http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/$STKNO.JPG", "r"))) {

echo "<img src=\"http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/$STKNO.JPG\" width=\"190\" height=\"142\">";
} else {
echo "<img src=\"http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/default.jpg\">";
}

this successfully pulls the image by string $STKNO.JPG. I would also like the image to be a link to the same in a new window. Any Ideas?
Thanks ahead of time
Ed

Could use this link:

<a href=\"javascript:window.open('http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/$STKNO.JPG', 'photo', 'width=190, height=142, resizable=1')\"><img src=\"http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/$STKNO.JPG\" width=\"190\" height=\"142\"></a>

and also, instead of:
@fclose(@fopen("http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/$STKNO.JPG", "r"))

you can use:

file_exists("http://www.daltonmountain.com/used/$STKNO.JPG");
