Question

I am trying to echo a javascript alert message in php but I am having problems with enclosing the ”s of the alert inside the ”’s of the php.

The code looks like this >>

onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this customer ?')"

If I use

echo onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this customer ?')"

I get errors in dreamweaver on that line because of the extra ”s , if I use

echo ‘onclick=”return confirm(“Are you sure you want to delete this customer ?”)”‘;

I no longer get errors in php, but it still doesn’t work and the html produced gives me a duplicate attributes message because of the extra “”s it produces once it is outputted.

Answer 1

try

echo('onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete this customer ?\')"');
