data entry in firebase

[yhi]

i am using php to generate some stuff & using javascript to insert those stuff in my firebase DB

 

but now the problem is some of those generated strings contain some html anchor tag in them so my JS script is refusing them & they are not getting inserted because they contain single quote

i tried to replace single quote with double quote but then firebase is adding a backslash before every " so those anchor tags are not working when i am showing DB on a page

 

 

so far i was only able to think about one solution that i should remove all single & double quote & href will still work & i can replace space with %20 so the link will not get broke

 

example generated string by my php

 

hello <a href='https://forums.phpfreaks.com'>PHP freaks</a>

 

my JS script

[API keys]

firebase.initializeApp(config);
var database = firebase.database();
var ref = database.ref('phpfreaks');
var data = {
		text: '$text1',
		text2: '$text2'
		}
ref.push(data);

PS

 

i cant remove single quote before my variable in JS script

if i do so the data will not get entered...

Would htmlspecialchars() work?
