Convert Javascript so PHP ECHO can read it

[RedInjection]

Hello all!

 

I am aware of how to use \" when escaping HTML tags but I want to know how people do it with javascript as I have a very complex JS I have wrote which I need to integrate with PHP

 

As an example

$(".hide1").hide(); $(".show1").show();
$('.show1').click(function(){$(".hide1").slideToggle();});

I know that

 

ECHO '$(".hide1").hide(); $(".show1").show();';

ECHO '$('.show1').click(function(){$(".hide1").slideToggle();});';

 

Isn't going to do it, what characters in that above code need to be escaped, is it possible I can convert the $ sign using HTML character codes? $ so it can read it easier and allow me to produce the output I want.

 

Thanks.

You should avoid mixing languages altogether. Use a sepate JavaScript file instead of stuffing inline code into your HTML markup. And put the HTML markup below your PHP code to avoid spaghetti code:

<?php

// your code goes here


?>
<!--

Your markup goes here

I am creating a jquery that hides/displays information when a hyperlink is clicked, so I have a while loop to count records but jquery needs me to define a variable for each hyperlink so I am going to increment it.

 

I need to integrate jquery so I need to be able to insert it because of this

jQuery certainly does not require you to define a new variable for each element. It supports intelligent selectors to get child elements, sibling elements etc. And if that doesn't help, you can always store information within an HTML element using data attributes.

 

If you describe the problem, I'm sure somebody will find a more intelligent approach than tons of numbered variables.

Sometimes I need to store JS in strings and also use two types of quote marks (there is more!), what you need to do is escape those characters by putting a backspace before them, just like you do when you do a new line ( \n )
