quotes problem

[stefann]

I have a php script that echoes html-code with in one of the attributes a call to a javascript function.

the working html-code is
<input type="button" value="Cal" onclick="displayCalendar(document.forms[0].theDate,'yyyy/mm/dd',this)">

in my php-script this becomes

<?php
echo '<input type="button" value="Cal" onclick="displayCalendar(document.forms[0].theDate,\'yyyy/mm/dd\',this)">';
?>

then the call to the javascript function fails.
I think it has something to do with the escaping of the quotes...

Thanks in advance
Stefan

You could break out of PHP and just output it like normal.

Or

echo "<input type=\"button\" value=\"Cal\" onclick=\"displayCalendar(document.forms[0].theDate,'yyyy/mm/dd', this)\">";

escaping the doublequotes instead of the singlequotes. See if that works, maybe.

Thanks for the quick response... but... nope... it doesn't work...

Looks OK to me. Are you testing it with any sort of JavaScript debugger on your browser? If so, what sort of error do you get?
