Question

I am passing a string variable from php to javascript.
The string contains ”
But javascript doesn’t get it.
How can I escape this character?

UPD:
To be more clear, first I don’t want to make many changes in the code (not written by me)…
The string is passed this way:

var string = '<? echo $string;?>' ;

Single quotes are used. Maybe there is a way to change smth. in the string itself?

You could use the json_encode method:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var value = <?php echo json_encode($someValue); ?>;
    alert(value);
</script>
