Adding single quote to javascript/php block

[Rich]

I have a block of code that calls a function to copy some text to the
clipboard. The text includes some text and an email from a recordset.
I am trying to put the email address inside a single quote however
any PHP or javascript methods that I try to use causes the function
not to work. If I want to add a single quote should I put it inside
the php echo or in between? and if so how should I format?


<span onclick='return copy_clip("<?ph p echo 'The payers email is ';
?><?php echo $row_rsPayments['payer_email']; ?>")'>Click Here</span>

Re: Adding single quote to javascript/php block

Rich,
Here is the code you want your PHP to output:
<span onclick="alert( 'The payers email is \'blah@blah.com \'');">Click
Here</span>

the \' cancels out the special meaning of the ' so just displays ' instead.
