html entity for '

[Anon]

Is there one for the apostrophe?? I've looked in tables of html entities and can't find one...

I'm using php to write javascript...

using this in php

$myContact->getAddPopupUrl("$name", "$company", "$p_key")

Call this method getAddPopupUrl which prints a href:

function getAddPopupUrl($name, $cname, $p_key) {
return "<a href='javascript:myContactsPopUp(\"$name\", \"$cname\", \"$p_key\")'><img src='/graphics/mycontact_add.gif' border='0' title=\"Add to MyContacts list\"></a>";
}

I have tried adding slashes to the variables $name, $company before using the method, but that just breaks the javascript. I though I might just be able to convert the ' to the html entity since addslashes didn't work...

Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

What exactly is the problem?

Ok here is the data:

$name = "Jon Doe";
$company = "Bally'S Park Place Casino Hotel"
$p_key = "213";

when I print it out with the method it looks like this

A
href='javascript:myContactsPopUp("Mr. Tony Ardito", "Bally' ?246?)? Hotel?,
Casino Place Park S><IMG border=0 src="/graphics/mycontact_add.gif"
title="Add to MyContacts list">

seel the quote messes it up .. even when its \'

I see what you mean.

have you tried using urlencode() or rawurlencode() on the vars?

htmlspecialchars()
htmlentities()

Any character can be represented with an html entity - just use it's hex number: ' is &#039;

hmmmm, make that:

& # 039 ;

(remove that spaces)
