[SOLVED] What happens when you've used both ' and " in an echo

[jimmyt1988]

1. My problem came up when I had a javascript that required ' and html that required ".

 

Is this the best way of overcoming this problem? Because it seems sketchy but works.

 

<?php
    function topRightBarImage(){
    
        $homeButton = "'images/homeButton.jpg'";
        $homeButtonO = "'images/homeButtonO.jpg'";
        
        $linkButton = "'images/linkButton.jpg'";
        $linkButtonO = "'images/linkButtonO.jpg'";
        
        $contactButton = "'images/contactButton.jpg'";
        $contactButtonO = "'images/contactButtonO.jpg'";
        
        echo '
            <a href = "index.php"><div id = "logoImage">
            </div></a>        
            <div id = "topRightBarImage">
                <div id = "buttonPosition">
                    <div class = "button">
                        <a href = "index.php"><img title = "home" src = "images/homeButton.jpg" onmouseover="this.src=' . $homeButtonO . '" onmouseout="this.src=' . $homeButton . '"></a>
                    </div>
                    <div class = "button">
                        <a href = "links.php"><img title = "links" src = "images/linkButton.jpg" onmouseover="this.src=' . $linkButtonO . '" onmouseout="this.src=' . $linkButton . '"></a>
                    </div>
                    <div class = "button">
                        <a href = "contactUs.php"><img title = "contact us" src = "images/contactButton.jpg" onmouseover="this.src=' . $contactButtonO . '" onmouseout="this.src=' . $contactButton . '"></a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        ';
    }
?>

 

2.Side question is nothing to do with php but perhaps u know.

 

javascript and hidden divs dont work as hover over preloads in Opera, any other way round the problem?

[Bendude14]

can't see anything wrong with how you are using the quotes.

 

Can't really help with the javascript without seeing how you are doing it now?

1. Cheers, just thought it looked wrong.

 

2. This is put in the header, excuse the comments Tbh don't worry about this. it's nothing to do with php, just a side comment. I'll put issue as resolved in about 5 minutes. I just wanted to know if what I was doing was correct with the php part.

 

Apparently Opera doesn't load hidden divs images. clever, but frustrating.

 

<!--<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>
    <!--
    
        if (document.images)
        {
          preload_image_object = new Image();
          // set image url
          image_url = new Array();
          //image_url[0] = 'images/homeButton.jpg';
          image_url[0] = 'images/homeButtonO.jpg';
          //image_url[2] = 'images/linkButton.jpg';
          image_url[1] = 'images/linkButtonO.jpg';
          //image_url[4] = 'images/contactButton.jpg';
          image_url[2] = 'images/contactButtonO.jpg';
          //image_url[6] = 'images/designButton.jpg';
          image_url[3] = 'images/designButtonO.jpg';
          //image_url[8] = 'images/developButton.jpg';
          image_url[4] = 'images/developButtonO.jpg';
          //image_url[10] = 'images/profileButton.jpg';
          image_url[5] = 'images/profileButtonO.jpg';
        
           var i = 0;
           for(i=0; i<=5; i++) 
             preload_image_object.src = image_url[i];
        }

You'd be better adding escaped quotes around the strings used in "this.src=...", for example:

 

onmouseover="this.src=\'' . $homeButtonO . '\'"
