Problem with script inside echo

[Peter Knight]

Hi guys

I have a simple echo statement as follows

echo "
<h3 class='uk-accordion-title'>
$item->title
</h3>
"

I want to add a script provided by ZOHO which tracks clicks on certain web page objects.

<a onclick='$zoho.salesiq.visitor.customaction("Track-signup-button")'> SignUp </a>

This would be the resulting code when I add that

echo "
<a href='#' onclick='$zoho.salesiq.visitor.customaction('$item->title')'> . </a>
<h3 class='uk-accordion-title'>
$item->title
</h3>
"

When the HML is output, it almost works BUT the variable $zoho gets removed every time.

<a href='#' onclick='.salesiq.visitor.customaction('Our Location')'> . </a>
<h3 class='uk-accordion-title'>
Our Location
</h3>

 

Is this a bug with my method or some escaping issue?

Thanks

$zoho seems to be a js variable but php tries to parse (and fails). Try \$zoho.

That's it - thanks @tpr

I had another small error which is fixed now too. I needed to surround the 

$item->title

in double quotes.

Cheers
