Question

I have following script:

    jQuery('#content-page-<?php echo $post->ID ?>')
    .data('content','<div class="page-content"><?php echo $post->post_content; ?>');

In

    '<div class="page-

The

'

symbol is not understood correctly and I get the

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

AND

unterminated string literal

error in chrome and firefox.

What is the problem?

UPDATE 1

The

    <?php echo $post->post_content; ?>

How to handle multiline text? The problem seems to be in multiline.

Answer 1

Are there any apostrphes in the php output? If so remember it becomes “raw text” so if it echos “I’m bob” it’ll render as 'content',';I'm bob' (notice the middle quote). So you should use something like addslashes($post->$post_content) http://php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php to escape the output.
