PHP variable binding issue with html from controller for ajax response-CodePudding

Controller:

$html = "";
$user_id = 10;
$by = 'By Aaron';
$getLedgerData = "getLedgerData('" . $user_id. "','" . $by . "')";
$html .= "<a onclick=" . $getLedgerData . "></a>"
print_r($html);die; //  result shows: getLedgerData('10','By Aaron')

When I passed $html to ajax response and set from there to a respected HTML tag. It will also seem like the above result. But When the HTML page is refreshed then I can see the below error and HTML from inspect element.

<a onclick="getLedgerData('10','By" 'Aaron')=""></a>
Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (at 0:1:35)

The result should be like this:

<a onclick="getLedgerData('10','By Aaron')"></a>

I don't know why HTML replaces 'By Arron' with 'By" 'Arron'

CodePudding user response：

It seems that you are not wrapping in quote marks in line 4, change to below to add that:

$html .= "<a onclick=\"" . $getLedgerData . "\"></a>";

Also you might need to change to single quotes this line also:

$getLedgerData = 'getLedgerData(\'' . $user_id. '\',\'' . $by . '\')';
