Hello,

I have to echo the below statement but it has many quotations within quotations, I tried below using \" but the confirm msg is not working, which means quotations have errors.

Please help.

The below fixed my problem:

PHP

$msg = "'Any message'";
echo '<a href="'. base_url() .'/Students/delsection/'.$row->id.'" class= "btn btn-sm btn-danger" onclick=" return confirm('.$msg. ');">Delete</a>

What I have tried:

PHP

echo '<a href="'. base_url() .'/Students/delsection/'.$row->id.'" class= "btn btn-sm btn-danger" onclick= \" return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this Section?");\" >Delete</a></td>

Solution 1

You need to use backslash (\) as escape sequence for double quotes in PHP

I tested this and it works:

PHP

echo "<td><a class = 'btn btn-sm btn-danger' href='some-url.php?ID=3' onclick='return confirm(\"Are you sure to delete?\")'> Delete </a></td> \n";
