I have small code that generated javascript error when I want to display in console $my_var: I want to display $my_var in the console (I will use it later for append it to a div with jQuery) but I get : Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

PHP:

$my_var = '<script id=\'et4pages\'></script>';
echo '<a href="javascript:display_content(\''. $my_var .'\');">click here</a>';

Javascript : 

function display_content(link) {
            console.log(link);
    }
