[PHP] HTML Escaping
I've got a conditional button that needs to appear/hide on my page
depending upon the contents of a field in my database. The button is an
image and has a long URL and JavaScript for image rotation attached to it.
Needless to say, the href is quite long and includes several '
characters. My conditional works great but I want to know if there is an
easy way to escape the whole href so that the ' characters will not be
seen as PHP quote marks. See below...
?php
if ($recordset['field'] != 1) {
echo 'a href=# onMouseOut=MM_swapImgRestore()
onMouseOver=MM_swapImage('PreviousPage','','/URL/ButtonName.gif',1)img
src=/URL/ButtonName.gif alt=Previous Page name=Previous Page
width=150 height=20 border=0/a;
?
Thanx in advance,
Robb

Re: [PHP] HTML Escaping
Took me a little while to figure out what you were asking. You can do
something like this for easy readability.
?php
if ($recordset['field'] != 1) {
?
a href=# onMouseOut=MM_swapImgRestore()
onMouseOver=MM_swapImage('PreviousPage','','/URL/
ButtonName.gif',1)img
src=/URL/ButtonName.gif alt=Previous Page name=Previous Page
width=150 height=20 border=0/a
?php
}
other php code
?
You can close out your php declaration at any time and just put in
regular text. It's a lot easier doing it this way than echo'ing many
lines and you don't have to worry about escaping quotes.

It looks like you're trying to echo a string that's delimited by single
quote marks, but I don't see a single quote at the end of the string.
Assuming this is what you want, though, to escape single quotes within
the string you're trying to echo, put a backslash \ character before them.
?php
if ($recordset['field'] != 1) {
echo 'a href=# onMouseOut=MM_swapImgRestore()
onMouseOver=MM_swapImage(\'PreviousPage\',\'\',\'/URL/ButtonName.gif\',1)img
src=/URL/ButtonName.gif alt=Previous Page name=Previous Page
width=150 height=20 border=0/a';
?
Alternatively, you can just use double quotes in your JavaScript
MM_swapImage() function...

Thanx. That's the escape character I needed. But, I've choosen to use the
style Brent suggested above. It'll be easier than remembering to escape
every single quote character.

Thanx. That works great. And, it's easy to read and update without having
to remember to escape everything.
