Simple problem trying to echo html with single and double quotes

[plastik77]

Apologies in advance for this one but i'm afraid i don't know to solve it! I'm just trying to echo the following html line in my php:

 

The working html is:

<select name = "drop_option" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')">

 

but when i need to do this within php i can't get it right as the '_top' parameter neither works with or without quotes...

 

the faulty php:

echo "<select name = 'drop_sub_option' onchange='window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,_top)'>";

 

how do i ensure '_top' has the correct syntax within the php statement?

Just escape the quotes:

 

<select name = \"drop_option\" onchange=\"window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')\">

 

Then you can use the single quotes for your onchange

Odd, there isn't anything wrong with your first string.
