single quotes conflict!

[Anon]

hello,

I have the following problem:

I try to call a Ming function (u know the dynamic flash staff) of this form:

$button1->addAction(new SWFAction(
"getURL('$link','');"),SWFBUTTON_MOUSEUP);

The problem is that because the getUrl function needs to take its variable with single quotes, I cannot pass a variable of the form $link="javascript:openWin('http://www.yahoo.com')" because the single quotes of the javascript conflict with the single quotes of the getUrl('$link','') and this cannot be compiled.. tricky ha?

I appreciate any help..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Teo,

Try escaping the single quotes in the javascript getURL command by inserting a backslash \ before it. Since you're passing it, PHP should send it in the correct format.

Ok I solved it. Here is the answer:

$link="http://www.yahoo.com";

$link1 = "javascript:openWindow(\"$link\")";

$button->addAction(new SWFAction("getURL( '$link1','' );"),SWFBUTTON_MOUSEUP);

and now every tiem you press $button openWindows is callled.

Thanks for the reply!
