Question

I have following PHP echo statement:

echo "<td><a href='delete-news.php?deleteID=".$id." onclick='return confirm('Really delete?');'>Delete</a></td>";


which is convert to html as:

<td class="last-td nth-8"><a delete?');'="" confirm('really="" return="" href="delete-news.php?deleteID=5 onclick=">Delete</a></td>

As you can see something has gone wrong?
What is the problem? I have already tried swaping " " for single ' '.

Answer 1

You have forgot ' after href. Use it like

Double quotes:

echo "<td><a href='delete-news.php?deleteID=".$id."' onclick=\"return confirm('Really delete?');\">Delete</a></td>";

Single quotes:

echo '<td><a href="delete-news.php?deleteID='.$id.'" onclick="return confirm(\'Really delete?\');">Delete</a></td>';
