When you want to write in javascript alert from a php variable  you have to add an other     before   n   Instead the alert pop-up is not working   ex    PHP    text    Example Text    n   text2    Example Text     n   JS  window alert   lt  php echo  text    gt         not working window alert   lt  php echo  text2    gt         is working

User · Answer

you have to use double quotes to display special char like  n  t etc    in js alert box for exemple in php script    string    Hello everybody  n this is an alert box   echo   lt script gt alert    string    lt  script gt      But a second possible problem arrives when you want to display a string specified in double quoted    see link text  If the string is enclosed in double-quotes      PHP will interpret more escape sequences for special characters  escape sequences  n is transformed as 0x0A ASCII Escaped character and this character is not displayed in the alert box  The solution consists in to escape this special sequence    s    Hello everybody   n this is an alert box   echo   lt script gt alert    string    lt  script gt      if you don t know how the string is enclosed you have to transform special characters to their escape sequences   patterns   array              n       r       t       v       f      replacements   array             n     r     t     v     f     string   preg replace  patterns   replacements   string   echo   lt script gt alert    string    lt  script gt
