Simple question about double quotes


Gruzin

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, hope you are doing well,
here is my simple query, but I want to add some mouse over on "<TR>" and could not figure out how to add double quotes to it:

[code]echo "<table width='500' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<tr bgcolor="#ffffff" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#f2f2f2';" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">";
echo "<td>".$row['data']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>"; [/code]

Thanks for reading and helping me  :)

I don't understand how it works, so I'll go to read some manual on php.net

george, basically, just remember that when you're within double quotes, if you don't want to end the string, you need to escape your double quotes with a backslash:
[code]
<?php
// wrong way:
$String = "I said, "Hi, how are you?"";

// right way:
$String = "I said, \"Hi, how are you?\"";
?>
[/code]
