Re: [PHP] Escaping JavaScript strings

This is a PHP function that escapes strings so you can output them as a 
JS string. IIRC it assumes you're using single quotes to enclose your 
strings.


/**
* Function to appropriately escape a string so it can be output
* into javascript code.
*
* @param  string $string Input string to escape
* @return string Escaped string
*/
function escapeString($string)
{
$js_escape = array(\r = '\r',
   \n = '\n',
   \t = '\t',
   '  = \\',
   '\\' = '');

return strtr($string, $js_escape);
}

Just what was needed - thanks Richard.
