Php and js help

[mike1313]

I didn't know whether I should have posted this in the PHP forum or the JavaScript but I can't seem to get this to work. Bit of a noob question.

echo "<b><a href=# onclick=displayMessage('message.inc');return false>$who2[username]</a></b><br>";

 

And it doesn't work with "" for the onclick function so how can I make this work?

'tis a PHP question.. you got the forum right.

 

Your echo is between double quotes " -- "

 

If you need to use double quotes inside the double quotes, they need to be escaped (prepended with back slash).

echo "<table border=\"1\"><a href=\"http://etcetc.com\">etcetc.com</a></table>";

try

 

echo "<b><a href=# onclick=\"displayMessage('message.inc'); return false\">$who2[username]</a></b><br>";

 

untested, but might help
