Put javascript inside a php echo function

Im tryin to put this line

Code:

<a href = "#" onclick = "playMidi('paper.mid');">Preview</a>

inside a php echo function. How can i do it? because the " and ' mess everything up.

O..and to make it worse, insted of jus simple puttin paper.mid, Im actually tryin to make it a link that uses a variable. Example

Code:

<a href = "#" onclick = "playMidi('http://www.domain.com/[b]variable goes here[/b].mid');">Preview</a>

could someone plllz tell me how to put all that inside a PHP function...thx

Just escape the double quotes:

PHP:

<?php
  echo "<a href = \"#\" onclick = \"playMidi('$filename.mid');\">Preview</a>";
?>

yay...but the thing is..instead of jsut the variable...its actually a whole URL...so what kinda quotes do i pur around the URL? cuz its supposed to be single, but if i put those..everything is gonna get messed

If it's a URL it would still work since it's in single quotes...

___________________

('http://www.desitonez.com/tones/aankhen/midi/'$file[file_name]'.mid')

OR

('http://www.desitonez.com/tones/aankhen/midi/$file[file_name].mid')
sorry for sounding so stupid

this is a part of the code i put in

EDITED CODE

PHP:

<?php echo $file[file_name];?> <?php echo "<a href = \"#\" onclick = \"playMidi('http://www.desitonez.com/tones/aankhen/midi/$file[file_name].mid');\">Preview</a>" ;?>

Hmm... Maybe just try using single quotes.

yea..for that, I had jsut made 2 echo functions as you will see in the txt file

The php file works now, but the thing is, its a javascript error "Object expected". So i think the variable isnt being read or sumthing
