Re: PHP & Java ?

If it's javascript, then be careful about echoing PHP variables into Javascript strings. If you have something like (in Javascript) var myString = '<?php echo $phpString; ?>'; and $phpString contains any apostrophes, then the javascript will break because Javascript thinks the string has ended prematurely. E.g, if $phpString is "My cat's pajamas" then the javascript would be sent to the browser thus: var myString = 'My cat's pajamas'; and you can see that there are too many single quotes, which will, of course, cause Javascript's high-powered debugging utilities to kick in and give you a highly useful error report.
