Question

<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='show($ID);'>ID</a>

my $ID is 0000001000.

what my show() function gets is 512 instead of 0000001000

I have tried cast $ID to string using String() and .toString() but still i do a alert() it returns me 512.

i read something about octal mode. how can i prevent or correct this ?

i want my function to read 0000001000

Answer 1

You should pass it as a string:

echo "<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='show(\"" . $ID . "\");'>ID</a>";

Otherwise it is automatically cast from octal to decimal notation as oct(1000) === dec(512).
