Using an Include containing Javascript

puredemo

I'm trying to include a php script that will echo back the same portfolio information to all of of the different pages of my site. (So when the portfolio changes I can change one page instead of twenty five)

This is an example of what has worked for other sections:

menu.php

<?php
echo '

<div align="center">

<a href="specials.php">Specials</a>  | 
<a href="hardware.php">Hardware</a> | 
<a href="home_service.php">Home Service</a> | 
<a href="internet.php">Internet</a> | 
<a href="marketing.php">Marketing</a></div>

';
?>

but this snippet of html contains javascript, with I assume is closing off the echo call:

<?php
echo '

';
?>

Is there a way to keep this javascript the way it is and still use echo or print?

sure, just a matter of escaping (or leaving the php mode).

within a singlequoted string, you need to escape all singlequotes with a backslash \'. This does not get into the output, only php needs it to know that the string is not supposed to end there. when you look at the html source your javascript will look as before.

Thank you man,

here is the script now, and it worked perfectly:

<?php
echo '

                              </font></p>

';
?>

Thanks again for the help,

Looking at my last post I understand why you couldn't give me an example within a php script lol

it took away all the escape slashes

glad it helped, though. I mean, if the backslashes already had been in your original code and something else caused the problem, it would have just one more of the numerous threads were the backslash-greediness of this forum contributes to overall confusion 😉
