Needing a third quote, not sure the code.

[Cluadia]

Hi, I'm relatively new to writing php. This may be a rather generalized question, my knowledge of programming as a whole isn't too complete I've tried searching for an answer to this for some time, but I'm struggling in finding what exactly to search for.I'm wondering about what happens when you run into a scenario where you need to put in 3 quotes. Say, you have a php which echos html code. And a scenario where you have to define the onmousedown in say, a link, which uses 1 quote, a javascript function which uses the 2nd one, and the parameters needed to be passed which uses 3 total. It's been something I missed learning a long time ago and would like to correct that.I've been making it by via doing a work around as described below.

<?phpecho '<a href="#" name="'. $link_name.$number .'"  id="' . $link_description.'" onmousedown="ajax_zee(this.name,this.id);">?>

I genuinely appreciate any help on the matter, I thank you!

if you want to echo a quote in php escape it using a backslash (\)here is an example:

<?phpecho "<a href='#' onclick=\"alert('This is an alert.')\">click me</a>";?>

If you need to nest multiple levels of the same type of quote you can use multiple backslashes (as \\\" => \" => ").

echo "function test() {   document.write(\"<div onclick=\\\"test\\\"></div>\");}";
