Third tier quotes ?

[smile]

This code works in PHP file OK.

<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.example.com/demo.png" class="img-tipso" data-tipso-title="Tooltip title" data-tipso-content="<img src='http://www.example.com/demo2.png'/>

But if I place it inside PHP echo like this

<?php
//SET THE TIME ZONE
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Vilnius');
//BEGIN
$today = strtotime(date("Y-m-d"));
$expireDate = strtotime("2017-12-31");
if ($today <= $expireDate) {
//ACTIVE
echo '<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.example.com/demo.png" class="img-tipso" data-tipso-title="Tooltip title" data-tipso-content="<img src='http://www.example.com/demo2.png'/>';
} else {
//EXPIRED
echo '';
}
?>

I get the error 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' 

 

Somebody told me that "I need three types of quotes"

You cannot open your echo with single quotes and use single quotes within the string without escaping them. Since you don't have any variables in your string, use double quotes for the image source.

use double quotes for the image source

I tried that first thing. I get no PHP error but the script does not work then.

 

This does not work, does not get the second image loaded

<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.example.com/demo.png" class="img-tipso" data-tipso-title="Tooltip title" data-tipso-content="<img src="http://www.example.com/demo2.png"/>

Escaping in PHP:

'data-tipso-content="'

"data-tipso-content='"

Escaping in HTML (the "third tier"):

'data-tipso-content="'

'data-tipso-content="'

"data-tipso-content='"

"data-tipso-content='"

[smile]

I tried pasting you code the code above and still get the 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

 

You did not translate the whole code string. I use the https://github.com/object505/tipso I should have mentioned this above.

I don't know what you did but the examples I posted are syntactically correct for PHP (though they are missing the same closing quote on the attribute as yours was). Look at how they work and incorporate whichever one into your code. Don't just copy and paste.

[smile]

For some unknown reason the code is painted wrong in dreamweaver, and it does not work also. Any one knows why that is? See attached screenshot.

[benanamen]

You don't see the unescaped quote right before date-tipso?

[requinix]

And you're missing a closing ".

[smile]

I'm having hard time to understand what is needed as my main language is not english, and I'm not a programmer.

I fixed the code like this. See attached image.

 

Now error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in

Using your original posted 'bad' line, just add the \ where the single quotes are inside your entire string.

[smile]

I posted a online test http://jsbin.com/cesuwuqomo/edit?html,output

help is appreciated.

Tried it no images appear, no errors.

Thank you, works perfect now. If only I could understand why  I see some places changed

 

Instead of

png\'"/>';

you changed to

png\'/>">';

[smile]

In case the link goes down here is the code

echo '<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.petmd.com/sites/all/modules/breedopedia/images/thumbnails/cat/tn-sokoke-forest-cat.jpg" class="img-tipso" data-tipso-title="Tooltip title" data-tipso-content="<img src=\'http://www.petmd.com/sites/all/modules/breedopedia/images/thumbnails/cat/tn-sokoke-forest-cat.jpg\'/>">';

If you ignore PHP for a second, and shorten things up, this is what you want:

<a href="e.com"><img src="cat.jpg" class="img-tipso" data-tipso-title="title" data-tipso-content="<img src='a.jpg'/>">

 

The two > symbols at the end each close one of the <img> tags. That's why you need two, one inside the double quotes and one to close the actual <img src="cat.jpg">.

 

Now to take that into PHP, as mentioned before, you just add escape characters before the single quotes if it's enclosed by single quotes.

 

echo '<a href="http://www.example.com"><img src="cat.jpg" class="img-tipso" data-tipso-title="title" data-tipso-content="<img src=\'a.jpg\'/>">';
