[SOLVED] echo with quotes

[coderb]

hi all,

 

no doubt a simple question:

 

I'm trying to echo this dynamic button as follows:

 

echo '<input type="Button" value="View Proof" onclick="href=temp/'.$myflnm.'.pdf">';

this renders:

<input type="Button" value="View Proof" onclick="href=temp/filename.pdf">

 

problem is I need to include a set of single quotes around the href value.

 

So, I need this:

<input type="Button" value="View Proof" onclick="href='temp/filename.pdf'">

 

I tried this but fails on syntax error:

echo '<input type="Button" value="View Proof" onclick="href=''temp/'.$myflnm.'.pdf''">';

 

any help appreciated.

echo '<input type="Button" value="View Proof" onclick="href=''temp/'.$myflnm.'.pdf''">';

 

try

 

echo "<input type=Button value=View Proof onclick=href='temp/.$myflnm."".pdf>";

thanks, but I've just found what seems to be the correct way  - using the escape character \ before the single quote in the string.

try

echo '<input type="Button" value="View Proof" onclick="href=\'temp/'.$myflnm.'.pdf\'">';
