Escaping

Hello,

I am trying to output HTML and JavaScript using PHP as the following:


', '');" />


The $categoryName variable can contain single and double quotes, so
how can I escape them?

Thanks.

That is right but I don't want to convert all HTML special characters
and how to convert the variables back on the javascript function?

With htmlspecialchars().

BTW, do you actually know what "{$categoryId}" does? You provide an
array and tell PHP to parse it to find variables and replace them with
their values. That could make sense with stuff like "Hello, $name\n" but
not with an array that just contains a variable.
