Well if the OP has the link to it in the first place then yes that would work.

I've been battling with quotes encoding when outputting javascript with
php.
It can't be unique, so I'm hoping someone has a working solution
they're willing to share.
The following works perfectly as long as there aren't any single quotes
in the link text:
echo "<span onclick=\"insertLink('$sUrl','$sTitle')\"
class='linkSel'>$sTitle</span>";
if $sTitle has the value What's new it outputs:
<span onclick="insertLink('article/whats-new.html','What's
new')" class='linkSel'>What's new</span>
It displays fine, but javascript complains with:
Expected ')' linkmanager.php Line:525 Char:63
So I fix this by swapping the double and single quotes around:
echo "<span onclick='insertLink(\"$sUrl\",\"$sTitle\")'
class='linkSel'>$sTitle</span>";
Now for that specific link it outputs:
<span onclick='insertLink("article/whats-new.html","What's
new")' class='linkSel'>What's new</span> And javascript is happy.
But elsewhere there's a link Fred "Buster" Cox and it outputs:
<span onclick='insertLink("article/fred-buster-cox.html","Fred
"Buster" Cox")' class='linkSel'>Fred "Buster"
Cox</span>
Again it displays fine, but javascript complains with:
Expected ')' linkmanager.php Line:743 Char:77
So it looks like I can't have links that include single quotes and
double quotes, only one or the other.
One work-around I thought of was to convert any link texts that
included double quotes into single quotes when the content is posted,
and it would then be displayed with single quotes even though the user
entered double quotes. It's far from ideal but it would work, though I
can think of a few situations where it would be quite confusing to the
reader. Are there any other solutions that would allow both types of
quotes without any conversions?

You aren't escaping the quotes correctly when they go into your
output. You're escaping them for html not javascript. Javascript
(like php) escapes single quotes inside a single quote string with a
back slash.

Thanks for that Ashley.
You're right about the encoding.
I had a line prior to that:
$sTitle = htmlentities($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-1', FALSE);
Which encoded the quotes.
I couldn't find anything so made a function, which might be useful
for others.
It’s a first shot, I'm sure there are ways to improve performance.
I also changed the encoding to exclude single quotes.
(I'm sure the indenting will get screwed up in the mail)
$sTitle = fixSingleQuotes(htmlentities($title, ENT_COMPAT,
'ISO-8859-1', FALSE));
.....
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// convert single quotes to curly quotes, xml compliant
// assumes apostrophes must be between 2 alpha chars
// and any other ' is a single quote
// ‘ = left single quote
// ’ = right single quote and apostrophe
function fixSingleQuotes($sText)
{
if (strpos($sText, "'") !== FALSE) {
// there are quotes to convert
$bOpenQuote = FALSE;
$arrAlpha = explode(' ', "a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t
u v w x y z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z");
$arrText = str_split($sText);
while (($pos = strpos($sText, "'")) !== FALSE) {
if ($pos == 0) {
// must be an open quote in first pos
$sText = "‘".substr($sText, 1);
$bOpenQuote = TRUE;
} else {
if (in_array($arrText[$pos-1], $arrAlpha) AND
in_array($arrText[$pos+1], $arrAlpha)) {
// apostrophe
$quote = "’";
} else {
// quote
if (!$bOpenQuote) {
$quote = "‘";
$bOpenQuote = TRUE;
} else {
$quote = "’";
$bOpenQuote = FALSE;
}
}
$sText = substr($sText, 0,
$pos).$quote.substr($sText, $pos+1);
}
}
}
return ($sText);
} //fixSingleQuotes()

This is interesting. I wasn't aware that javascript reencoded html
entities in this way.
I'm wondering, though, wouldn't a call to addslashes work in this case?

Wow, no it wouldn't. At least not the way it needs to to be more
universal. I spent quite a bit of time pondering this and testing
things, and finally came up with this writeup:
http://wiki.tamaratemple.com/Technology/HandlingQuotesInJavascript
Given the final outcome of needing to write a base64 codec for
javascript, perhaps Arno's solution above it better?

I tend to do a syntax check with php -l on the command line after
editing to see whatever errors might occur before I run the code on
the web site.

Hello.
Just learning about stream filtering and have 2 questions I hope
someone can give me some pointers on.
1 - Bucketing.
In reading a bit about how this works, the data is passed in chunks
through the filter - known as a bucket brigade.
How does this work if, for example, the search string is chopped by
the bucketing system? It would seem that you would end up with 2 parts
of the search element, neither would be matched for replacing and then
the whole element would be reconstituted in the output.
My filter method is ...
function filter($r_In, $r_Out, &$i_Consumed, $b_Closing)
{
while ($o_Bucket = stream_bucket_make_writeable($r_In))
{
$o_Bucket->data = preg_replace('`<(/?)(\d+)`',
'<$1fixed_$2',
$o_Bucket->data);
$i_Consumed += $o_Bucket->datalen;
stream_bucket_append($r_Out, $o_Bucket);
}
return PSFS_PASS_ON;
}
This is working fine (so far as I can tell as SimpleXMLIterator is now
happy to read the XML file), but I'm guessing I'm missing something
here if my understanding is correct.
2 - Stream wrapping.
At the moment, we download a .gz file and decompress it into the .xml
file. I know I can use a zlib:// stream wrapper to save me having to
decode the .gz file first. This means smaller downloads and less
storage. We can even use the zlib:// filter on the URL, but we cache
the .gz file locally, so that isn't important.
But for a small set of files (their origin is known, so I can create a
rule for this issue), I have to expand the .gz file first and then fix
the file using the filter above. I then have two paths to load the xml
- either a zlib:// decompress stream or a straight local file.
I'd like to work out how to create a stream wrapper to allow me to say
SOMETHING like ...
$o_MySXI = new
SimpleXMLIterator('xml.NoNumericTags://compress.zlib:///development/BadlyFormed.gz');
If this was possible, I'd be a LOT happier and could simply stream
from the .gz files without needing to hold onto anything.
Ideas/suggestions/examples/code gratefully received.
Regards,
Richard.
