I'm a fan of dropping out of PHP to output static
html/js etc. This is especially good practice when you
have large blocks of html/etc.
i.e.
<form name="Test_Form">
<?
$test1 = "The kid's name is \"Bob!\"";
$test1 = addslashes($test1);
?>
<input type='hidden' name='htmlTest1'
value='<?=$test1?>'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
alert(document.Test_Form.htmlTest1.value);
</script>
</form>
I prefer using single quotes when assign string
values. PHP doesn't have to evaluate inside single
quotes.
It's much easier to edit/add/read html code that's not
polluted with escaped quotes
Syntax highlighting makes it easier to spot
"variables"
$bob_age = time() - $birthday_timestamp;
$test1 = 'The kid's name is "Bob!"';
$test2 = 'He is '.$bob_age.' seconds old';
