Converting PHP variables to Javascript variables?

[rapmonkey]

I'm having trouble doing this...I tried the following:

<script language="javascript">
quote = '<?php echo $quote; ?>';
</script>

But it does not seem to work. Must I put slashes somewhere I the PHP code? Thanks for any help! 😃

What are you trying to do? What's in $quote? This could be your problem.

$quote is mainly HTML.

Is there a single quote in $quote? I've had this problem before.

try

<script language="javascript"> 
var quote = '<?php echo addslashes($quote); ?>'; 
alert(quote);
</script>
