It is simple, your code isn't producing any 'quotation marks' (look at the html source).

 

You can escape them:

<?php
echo "<input name= \"button\" type=\"submit\"  value=\"Submit 1\" />";
?>

 

or use single quotes:

 

<?php
echo "<input name= 'button' type='submit'  value='Submit 1' />";
?>

Yep.  I would use double for the master string (for interpolation purposes) and singles for the attribute values.  It's much cleaner and easier to read.

how would you use the single quote method in strings that already have single quotes?  For example using php and javascript the following way would not work with single quotes because you already have single quotes in the string:

 

echo "<a href=\"popup.php\" onMouseOver=\"window.name='main'\" onClick=\"return popup(this, 'notes')\">Click Here</a>";

 

Any suggestions?

Well, then you'd just need to escape the single quotes instead of the double quotes.

Like this?:

 

echo "<a href='popup.php' onMouseOver='window.name=\'main\'' onClick='return popup(this, \'notes\')'>Click Here</a>";

 

Is this correct?

 

Or would it be like this?:

 

echo "<a href=\'popup.php\' onMouseOver=\'window.name='main'\' onClick=\'return popup(this, 'notes')\'>Click Here</a>";

All you have to do is escape quotes that are the same type as the ones that enclose the string. If it's a single quoted string, any single quotes within it would need to be escaped, likewise for double quotes.

For this:

 

<a href="pwordhelp.php" onMouseOver="window.name = 'main'" onClick="return pwpopup(this, 'notes')>Click</a>

 

I tried this:

 

echo "<a href='pwordhelp.php' onMouseOver='window.name = \'main\' ' onClick='return pwpopup(this, \'notes\')'>Click</a>";

 

and this:

 

echo "<a href=\'pwordhelp.php\' onMouseOver=\'window.name = 'main'\' onClick=\'return pwpopup(this, 'notes')\'>Click</a>";

 

neither of them worked... oh well, guess I'm sticking with double quotes :-)
