[SOLVED] addslashes in javascript

[ldsmike88]

I have a string in php that contains "member's." Before I pass the variable to javascript I use addslashes to fix any problems I would have with it. The problem is when the string gets to the javascript, the javascript writes the string to the page without the backslash. How do I correct this problem? Thanks!

I gave up on trying to addslashes in javascript. Instead I just used addslashes(addslashes($myVar)); in php. Sorry for the unnecessary post.

You can write a very simple escape function for quotes.

Well I found a addslashes and stripslashes function online but the addslashes doesn't seem to work at all and the stripslashes doesn't seem to work with double quotes " . Do you know why these don't work correctly?

 

function addslashes(str) {
str=str.replace(/\'/g,'\\\'');
str=str.replace(/\"/g,'\\"');
str=str.replace(/\\/g,'\\\\');
str=str.replace(/\0/g,'\\0');
return str;
}
function stripslashes(str) {
str=str.replace(/\\'/g,'\'');
str=str.replace(/\\"/g,'"');
str=str.replace(/\\\\/g,'\\');
str=str.replace(/\\0/g,'\0');
return str;
}

That is strange...  at least for stripslashes, there are some missing backslashes.
