How should I quote this:
<tr onclick="$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});">
When put in an echo " "; ?
I have tried this:
echo "<tr onclick='$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});'>";
Which shows a Jquery error.
And I tried this:
echo "<tr onclick="$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});">";
Which shows a PHP error.
You need to escape the quotes symbols:
echo '<tr onclick="$.colorbox({href:\"information1.html\"});">'
Note that using inline script is not considered to be a good practice!
echo '<tr class="foo">'
In the javascript code:
$('.foo').click(function() {
$.colorbox({ href: "information1.html" });
});
Simply escape the quotes. Whilst on this subject I feel it important to mention the fact that generally speaking, you should use single quotes for 'code' and double quotes only for displayed strings.
This stems from C standards and keeping this consistent will help you in the future if for example you wanted to implement gettext() and translate your website into multiple languages.
echo '<tr onclick="$.colorbox({href:\'information1.html\'});\">';
Having said that, there's a better way to achieve what you're doing. Give the row an id:
<tr id="inforow" />
And use jQuery to bind to it's click event when the DOM is ready.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".inforow").click(function() {
$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});
});
});
Anytime you want to print a string with a quote in it, just use the escape character '\' to ignore the quote as a literal closing quote, like so:
echo "<tr onclick=\"$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});\">";
echo "<tr onclick=\"$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});\">";
echo "<tr onclick=\"$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});\">";
Try that:
echo "<tr onclick=\"$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});\">";
I would use PHP-methods instead of caring about the quotes
echo '<tr onclick="'.
htmlentities('$.colorbox('.json_encode(array('href'=>'information.html'))).')">';
...will always create proper JSON and proper HTML, no matter what characters you use.
NO NEED to quote it.
NO NEED to put in an echo " ";
Just leave it AS IS:
?>
<tr onclick="$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});">
<?
as well as any other HTML.
It's PHP. It's embedded in HTML. You can leave PHP mode any time
mysql_fetch_array( $data )). Can I close the php with ?> and then open it back up again without having to do another select query?I've tried multiple ways with escapes:
This worked in html:
But I need it to work in PHP so I've tried the following, but none of these appears to work:
Attempt 1:
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cancel" value="<?php echo $payment->route("https://website.com/cancel.php", "") ?>">';
Attempt 2:
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cancel" value=\"<?php echo $payment->route("https://website.com/cancel.php", "") ?>\">';
Attempt 3:
echo '<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cancel\" value=\"<?php echo $payment->route(\"https://website.com/cancel.php\", \"\") ?>\">';
Attempt 4:
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cancel" value="<?php echo $payment->route(\"https://website.com/cancel.php\", \"\") ?>">';
Attempt 5:
$val_1='<?php echo $payment->route("https://website.com/cancel.php", "") ?>';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cancel" value="'.$val_1.'">';
Attempt 6:
$val_1='<?php echo $payment->route("https://website.com/cancel.php", "") ?>';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cancel" value=\"'.$val_1.'\">';
None of the above attempts worked.
Another way is using EOD
$string = <<<EOD
"duble quotation" and 'quotation' all enable
EOD;
echo $string;
echo "<tr onclick=\"$.colorbox({href:'information1.html'});\">";to escape
