I have input type text for user to edit their text
<input type='text' id='about'>
$('#about').val('<?PHP echo $about;?>');
the reason I didn't use value is because I have a reset button can reset the form.
<input type='text' id='about' value='<?PHP echo $about;?>'>
if I place inside of value, the reset button will not working.
My problem is if user enter the text with ' it will end the line from my script
ex.
$('#about').val('It's cool');
any way to solve this problem?
addslashes() is what you want, see below:
$('#about').val('<?PHP echo addslashes($about);?>');
This is what you can do and it works for sure
<?php
$data = "aa ' aaa ' aaa";
?>
<script>
var aa = <?php echo json_encode($data); ?>;
alert(aa);
</script>
So in your case
$('#about').val('<?php echo json_encode($about);?>');
Use htmlspecialchars() to escape the quote.
you have to enclose your string in double quotes javascript as follow:
$('#about').val("<?PHP echo $about;?>");
$('#about').val('It\'s cool');$('#about').val('<?PHP echo addslashes($about);?>');
