How to use quotes in nested PHP->JS->HTML

Question

I'm trying to figure out how i can use quotes in a third "layer".
Do i need to "escape" the quotes somehow?

PHP/JS/HTML

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
    echo "$('#rImgObjNr').text('Bilder: ".$imgDirs[$randomDir]."<i class='fa'></i>');";
echo "</script>";

It's my icon element that has problems with it's quotes:
<i class='fa'></i>

When i use 'I "close" JS text.. and if i use " i close the PHP.
How can i solve this?
Can i use my HTML element inside of this PHP/JS text?

To escape quotes and achieve a nested quotes just use \" as in "your\"string\"" which would output your"string". This works in Php and Js — M.M

Try next time with heredoc. I think is easier with nested quotes. — José M. Carnero

You need to escape your double quotes by prepending backslash. Replace your code like this below.

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
    echo "$('#rImgObjNr').text('Bilder: ".$imgDirs[$randomDir]."<i class=\"fa\"></i>');";
echo "</script>";

May be it work :

<script type='text/javascript'>
    $('#rImgObjNr').text("Bilder: <?php echo $imgDirs[$randomDir];?><i class='fa'></i>");
</script>

The solution was to change .textto .html and then escape the quotes like \".

CODE

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
  echo "$('#rImgObjNr').html('Bilder: ".$imgDirs[$randomDir]."<i class=\"fa\"></i>');";
echo "</script>";
