PHP echo and javascript

[davestar_delux]

Hey, I have a webpage displaying a table from a database. I am wanting to make one of the fields trigger a javascript function using the two previous fields as its parameters. I am having trouble passing the parameters to the javascript function using PHP as the line is full of quotation characters something like this:

echo '<td><a href="#" onclick=(' . $string1 . ', ' . $string2 . ')>' . $row[field3] . '</a></td>

That's the best I can recall from memory and it throws up a javascript error. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Your onclick should name a function first!

onclick=functionname(' . $sting1 . ',' . $string2 . ')>'

Sorry, yeah it already does.

The problem is the parameters passed to the function need to be in quotations I think.

there you go. you've answered your own question. you just need to escape them as you're using php.

Yes, I don't know how to escape them in the example I have given because I am already using many quotes to do the html and escape the php variables...
