Issue with single and double quotes

mjstehn

I have the following html that I was to echo with PHP so I can do a check and display this if something is true and something else if it is not. I cannot seem to get the javascript to call correctly because of the quotes. Can someone help me with how to echo this properly with the correct quotes?

Thanks,

Weedpacket

Showing us the PHP you're trying to echo it with might help. Use [noparse]

[/noparse] tags to post code here; and depending on what your problem actually is, the page in the manual on the string type and how to use quotes in them may be helpful.

Of course, one of the simplest ways to output that string might be via the following PHP code:

?><select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)"><?php

Even better would be to separate the application logic from the presentation markup (e.g. don't mix HTML markup and PHP code in the same file).

Sorry, here is the php code

echo '<select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">';

You should read beyond the first sentence of Weedpacket's reply, as he not only described how you should present PHP code in a more readable fashion, but he also linked you to the page relevant to fixing your incorrect syntax (which is failing to escape literal instances of the quote character used to delimit the string).

Use an editor that has syntax highlighting, that would show exactly what the problem is here. There are plenty of good basic editors Notepad++, KATE, etc that are free and available for most operating systems.
