Question

I find this very strange, must be something I’m doing wrong, but still… I’m working on a page using PHP and TPL files. In my TPL file, there’s a place in the footer for some extra lines if needed.

For instance, formchecking with Javascript.

so in PHP I did this:

$foot = '<script type=\'text/javascript\'>if(document.getElementById){loadEvents();}</script>'; 

the $foot variable is then parsed and the result in HTML is this:

<script type='text/javascript'>if(document.getElementById)</script> 

So {loadEvents();} went missing.

Does anybody see what I’m missing here… I’m seriously not finding it. Did I forget to escape a character or something?

Answer 1

Obviously the template engine you are using eats away the part in curly braces.

Try something like:

$foot = '{literal}<script type=\'text/javascript\'>if(document.getElementById){loadEvents();}</script>{/literal}';
