Generating java with PHP

[sven_stone]

I have a java alert and a text field in a mysql db.

The text in the field contains line breaks.
i.e.
Hello
World

I want to print/echo out the text into the java alertbox with out executing the line breaks, just showing them.

alert('[?php echo $row->text);?]'); <--- howto?

It should print

alert('Hello\nWorld');

insted of

alert('Hello
World');

Thanks in advance

alert('<?php echo str_replace("\n", '\n', $row->text));?>');
