Problem with PHP and JS

[andrewsmd]

I am trying to run a javascript function with PHP. However, I get a JS error saying unterminated string literal with this php code. Echo("<a href = # onclick=checkName('{$rcd}', '{$title}')> Del </a>");
The only problem I can see is that in the html it looks like this checkName('91', 'AD1 Moore'); The script stops at the blank white space. Any ideas why a white space is causing me issues? I should note that checkName calls some AJAX stuff.

Why is there a hash mark after href = ?

Also, if this is supposed to by XHTML, then the attribute value has to be enclosed in double quotes.

Right, needs quotes.

echo "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"checkName('$rcd', '$title')\"> Del </a>";

Just a note, I seem to recall reading echo is not treated like a function and so will not work with brackets when more than one parameter is passed to it. Whether that means concatonated variables, or variables split with a delimiter of some sorts I don't know.

That's what I was missing. The \ was just a typo. Thanks guys, it's been a while since I've done anything with PHP. I guess I got too used to .net and it handling all of that "AJAX stuff" for me! I've used echo with multiple variables a lot before. Could this be a version issue? I've never had a problem with it.
