How do I put single quotes inside of other single quotes?

Question

I have this code inside of a php echo, which is inside of an if statement. I need to do this line of code, but the quotes are giving me a problem. echo "

<a href="#' onclick='popup('popUpDiv')"><img src='$pic'></a>";

Then I tried to do this, where image.php was the code above, and I don't think the variable carries over.

<?php include 'image.php'; ?>

How would I go about fixing this?

And do you need the full page code?

Answer 1

You can surround them with different quotes in HTML (some of your HTML quotes were unbalanced). In PHP you'll have to escape the inner quotes:

echo "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"popup('popUpDiv')\"><img src='$pic'></a>";

Answer 2

This:

$pic='image.jpg';
echo '<a href="#" onclick="popup(\'popUpDiv\')"><img src="'.$pic.'"></a>';

will produce this:

<a href="#" onclick="popup('popUpDiv')"><img src="image.jpg"></a>

But you should be acccesing the onclick event through the DOM (inside <script> or better yet an external js file) and not using an href with an # .
