<button onclick="SendCommMessageToOwner(<? echo $comm_data->info->ownerId; ?>)"
                    type="submit" class="elementor-button elementor-size-sm button-color-comm"> // right here
                    
                        <span>
                            <span class=" elementor-button-icon">
                            </span>
                        <span class="elementor-button-text">שליחה</span>
                        </span>
                    </button>

This sounds like a JavaScript syntax error, not a PHP syntax error. So what is the JavaScript code in the browser that causes the error? You're not showing it, but you provide a clue:

if it does matter [ownerId] => ec8d1073-544e-4330-bc9c-6fcfc3fe9bab

So the JavaScript code will be:

SendCommMessageToOwner(ec8d1073-544e-4330-bc9c-6fcfc3fe9bab)

Yup, that's a syntax error alright. I suspect you meant for that to be a string literal:

SendCommMessageToOwner('ec8d1073-544e-4330-bc9c-6fcfc3fe9bab')

Which means you're just missing the quotes in your markup (outside of the server-side code in this case):

<button onclick="SendCommMessageToOwner('<? echo $comm_data->info->ownerId; ?>')" ...
