PHP and Javascript escape character problem, --> those who like to solve things can try to solve this issue, its tricky I think ;)

Hi there,

I am doing an application that allows me to create RSS channels and put feeds inside of each channel. Everything works so far, but - now I have started to do the 'Edit Channel', 'Edit Feed', 'Delete Channel' and 'Delete Feed' functionalities and have run into a problem. For me its a big problem cause Im not a guru programmer but for you out there it may be a piece of cake.

I have the following line of code:

$myFeedHTML .= "<TH ROWSPAN=3 BGCOLOR='#99CCFF'>$feedItemLink<br /> <br /> <input type='Button' value='Edit' width='100px' onClik='javascript:DeleteChannelAndAllOfItsFeeds()' /> <br /> <br />DELETE<br /></TH>";

In $myFeedHTML I'am always appending new HTML data to it, in this case I'am appending a table row/header row that has an image in it and underneath the image it has two buttons, one is for the EDIT functionality and the other is for the DELETE functionality.

Now... notice the onClik events -> onClik='javascript:DeleteChannelAndAllOfItsFeeds()'    . I ususally use that method to call a javascript function from within a button or a link....and like this is works (on its own - ie when its not being appended as a normal string to the variable $myFeedHTML).

But...When it is appended to a variable so that I echo everything at once in the end, the onClik action must be included inside a " (double quotes) and inside  ' (single quotes) so that it can be appeneded to the string, now when this is being done everything gets mixed because of of all the " and ' thus the program thinks that these are normal escape characters and just skips over the javascript call function that is nested within the onClik event. So the onClik is not getting a function assigned to it. (you can see this in the code I've pasted above)

What can I do in order to append it to my $myFeedHTML variable and at the same time have it assigend a javascript function inside of its EDIT/DELETE button onClik event ?

Can you give me some example maybe etc ?

btw: I know I've written onClik wrong but I wrote it this way in this forum cause it wouldn't let me post my thread because it regards it as an illegal tag lol.

Thank you very much :) ,
The Ace

Hey,
You can do it this way as well
$myFeedHTML .=  "<TH ROWSPAN=3 BGCOLOR='#99CCFF'> $feedItemImagePath <br />
<br /> <input type='Button' value='Edit' width='100px'
onClik=\"javascript:
>
> DeleteChannelAndAllOfItsFeeds()\" /> <br /> <br
> />DELETE<br /></TH>";


So you can escape double quotes by \ (slash)
try this .. It will work...
you can escape any special character that you want to use as it is by
prepend it by \

I've noticed also that in your code you've always referred to onclik,
when it should be onclick. I hope this was just a typo in the email!

I've noticed also that you didn't read his email properly. I hope that
was just an oversight.
