RE: [PHP] php varible in Javascript alert()

Alert isn't a native PHP command so: <?php alert('echo addslashes($errorMsg);'); ?> wouldn't work... This might though: <?php $string = "Can't connect to DB"; // or 'Can\'t connect to DB'; echo '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">alert(\'' . addslashes($string) . '\'); </script> '; ?> ?> I think the line breaks may go a bit wonky :| HTH Dan ------------------- http://chrome.me.uk -----Original Message----- From: ettinger@gmail.com [mailto:ettinger@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Ettinger Sent: 12 April 2006 00:58 To: Chrome Cc: Mace Eliason; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] php varible in Javascript alert() <?php alert('echo addslashes($errorMsg);'); ?> On 4/11/06, Chrome <admin@chrome.me.uk> wrote: > Does $errorMessage have any single quotes in it?
