Question

I have a javascript variable which hold the value taken from somewhere else(lets say from a API call), taken string is given bellow,

He's the reason for this

I assign this string to a variable name ‘sample’. But when I print it, it doesn’t work since the string has ” ‘ ” character. I want to add ” \ ” before the ” ‘ ” character. I tried using this,

var sample = (get the string from a api call).replace(/'/g,"\\\'");

But it doesn’t work?

Answer 1

in my javascript file I use window.location.href = "test.php?detail="+sample; to send the data.

Use encodeURIComponent to escape a string for inserting into a URI.

In my test.php, I use $detail = $_GET["detail"]; and echo $detail; to print it.

If you are printing it into HTML then use htmlspecialcharsto make it safe.

If you are printing it into JavaScript then use json_encode to make it safe.
