Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token } in javascript

Question

what i need

i need to call onclick function from php file.

php code

$content .= '
            <div class="evt_date" >

            <meta itemprop="startDate" content="'.$data[$k]['startDate'].'">
            <meta itemprop="endDate" content="'.$data[$k]['endDate'].'">
            <span><button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-listing"  onClick="favaorite('.$data[$k]['id'].',"'.$data[$k]['city'].'","'.$data[$k]['country'].'","'.$data[$k]['event_url'].'")">Addtofavorite</button>
            </span>

javascript code

function favaorite(sess_id,city,country,event_url)
 {
 console.log(sess_id);
 console.log(city);
 console.log(country);
 console.log(event_url);
}

Unrelated to the error, but "favaorite" is actually spelled "favorite" — Cerbrus

Check this:

$content .= '<div class="evt_date" >
             <meta itemprop="startDate" content="'.$data[$k]['startDate'].'">
             <meta itemprop="endDate" content="'.$data[$k]['endDate'].'">
             <span><button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-listing"  onClick="favaorite('.$data[$k]['id'].',\''.$data[$k]['city'].'\',\''.$data[$k]['country'].'\',\''.$data[$k]['event_url'].'\')">Addtofavorite</button>
             </span>';

but id "t understand logic adding (\',\'') in php

Because compiler is thinking it is end of the method, as you gave double quote. check for this piece of code you wrote - onClick="favaorite('.$data[$k]['id'].',". Compiler is checking this is the whole method, and it is searching for the closing brace now.

Even you can use strip `` with double quote, but better would be with single quote. We are just stripping the single quote here.

Separate the multiple quotes, ie quotes within quotes.

$click_fnt = "favaorite($data[$k]['id'],$data[$k]['city'],$data[$k]['country'],$data[$k]['event_url'])";

and add it to your code

$content .= '<div class="evt_date" >
             <meta itemprop="startDate" content="'.$data[$k]['startDate'].'">
             <meta itemprop="endDate" content="'.$data[$k]['endDate'].'">
             <span><button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-listing"  onClick="'.$click_fnt.'">Addtofavorite</button>
             </span>';

This way it wont confuse the compiler nor the programmer.
