This should be challenging!

  function slicky_links($dirname, $filename, $page)
  {
    $imgurl = "http://www.slicky.net/gallery.php?cmd=midsize&gallery=$dirname&image=$filename";
    $linkurl = "http://www.slicky.net/gallery.php?gallery=$dirname&page=$page";

$htmlcode = '<a href=' . $linkurl . '><img src=' . $imgurl . '></a>';

echo "<a href=\"Javascript:copy('$htmlcode');\">HTML Code</a>";  
  }

OK, so this function works well... It creates a link called "HTML Code" which copies the link code to my clipboard. An example of the copied text would look like this:

<a href=http://www.slicky.net/gallery.php?gallery=sample/&page=1><img src=http://www.slicky.net/gallery.php?cmd=midsize&gallery=sample/&image=IMG_0722.jpg></a>

There's only one problem... the syntax is wrong. I need it to insert quotes around the image source url and the link url. I can't get it to work... it just keeps breaking up the original link code :mad:

Anybody know how to get it working?

Thank you!

Change

$htmlcode = '<a href=' . $linkurl . '><img src=' . $imgurl . '></a>';

to

$htmlcode = '<a href="' . $linkurl . '"><img src="' . $imgurl . '"></a>';

And that should do the trick.

That's what I figured, but that breaks the original link 🙁
Thanks for trying though,

Whoops, missed a backslash, this is what you're after:

$htmlcode = '<a href=\"' . $linkurl . '\"><img src=\"' . $imgurl . '\"></a>';

Negative 🙁 That tries to display the image, but fails and breaks the original link.

Aye, you're right.

The thing with quotes is that HTML, you can't escape them, but can use either of them, Javascript you can escape them, and PHP you can also escape them.

Leading to the conclusion:

    $htmlcode = '<a href=\"' . $linkurl . '\"><img src=\"' . $imgurl . '\"></a>';

echo '<a href=\'javascript:copy("'.$htmlcode.'");\'>HTML Code</a>';  

That I should test code before I post 😉

If you want a literal back-slash in a double-quoted string, you need to escape it with another back-slash:

function slicky_links($dirname, $filename, $page)
{
   $imgurl = "http://www.slicky.net/gallery.php?cmd=midsize&gallery=" .
             urlencode($dirname) . "&image=" . urlencode($filename);
   $linkurl = "http://www.slicky.net/gallery.php?gallery=" .
              urlencode($dirname) . "&page=" . urlencode($page);
   $htmlcode = "<a href=\\'$linkurl\\'><img src=\\'$imgurl\\'></a>";
   echo "<a href=\"javascript:copy('$htmlcode');\">HTML Code</a>";
}

}

That did it! Thank you!

Now I just have to work on understanding it! 😃

Thank you all for trying!
