PHP: Escaping single quotes in javascript echoed by php?

Question

I have an echo in my php page which has a javascript in it.

it looks like this:

echo '<ons-list-item onclick="fn.load('home.html')" tappable>';

I need to escape the single quotes on fn.load('home.html')

so i did:

 echo '<ons-list-item onclick="fn.load(/'home.html'/)" tappable>';

But that doesn't really work..

could someone please advise on this?

Thanks in advance.

Try using double quotes around "home.html".

Or you need to escape ", so it won't be interpreted as end of string. Use \ to escape the quotes as you said.

with double quotes, my javascript stops working. so i need to use single quotes.

OK try using the backslash before to escape the quote using a backslash. Like thus 'hello\'s'
