Problem with PHP spaces

[swethak]

Hi,

I am getting the problem when i used the php code inside javascript. i,e

<?
$description=<p><strong>This is Test1</strong></p><p><strong>This is Test2</strong></p>
?>
<script>
alert('<?=$description?>');
</script>
 
 

Above code works fine and give the alert message when page will loaded.

i have modified that above code like that

<?
$description=<p><strong>This is Test1</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is Test2</strong></p>
?>
<script>
alert('<?=$description?>');
</script>
 
 

It didn't worked and didn't give any alert message. Anybody Could please tell the solution to my problem.




Thanks
Swetha

@swethak
I'd expected a warning at least (usually strings are enclosed in
' or ")

Hi



Thank you very much for your reply. I have used like this

<?php
$description='<p><strong>This is Test1</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is Test2</strong></p>';
?>
<script>
alert('<?=$description?>');
</script>
 

in that actually i am getting the description from database 'text' data type . For getting clear idea i mentioned like that.
Have an idea could you please tell the solution.


Thanks
Swetha

do you have short tag turned on? if not <?= will not work, do <?php echo ...
