having trouble passing value from php to javascript because of the quotation mark.

[byebyebyezzz]

Hi,

I have something like this

<?php

$var1 = "hello world &quot hello world"; // var1 get the value from sql. this is just some make up data.


print <<<EOF

<a href="#" onclick="test('$var1')">click me</a> // the problem i have is here.
 I want it to be test( "hello world &quot hello world") but it turned out to be test( "hello world " hello world"). 
EOF;

?>

Any idea how can I get this to work?

You could always use replace to insert a \ before the "

I tried /" before but I never tried /&quot. I ll give it a try tomorrow.
thx

No, that slash is the wrong direction. Try the one that should be above the enter/return key on your keyboard... it goes from upper-left to lower-right...

Use single quotes:

 
$var='x and y &quot plus 2'

Php interprets anything between double quotes, but not between single quotes. Php will interpret between single quotes in heredocs.
