I am pulling my hair with this simple task... From a php variable that contains double quotes (") which is echoed in a div, the html source shows that " have been replaced by ". So far OK. However, when the html code within the div is copied with jQuery, some of the double quotes are repeated. I need to fix that in order to use MindMup editor properly.
$Text = 'This is an <span class="myclass">example</span> where double-quotes are added by "I don\'t know what".'
<a onclick="javascript:copyEditor();">copy code</a>
<div id="editor">
echo $Text;
</div>
<script>
function copyEditor() {
$('#hiddenEditor').html($('#editor').html());
}
</script>
If the text is typed directly into the html page with double quotes, then it is fine. See the difference in that example.
So my question is how do I stop php/html to convert the double quotes into " when displaying that variable in the page?
There is also an empty line added on top in the link above after copying the code... why?
Replace double quotes with "
To replace the quotes in user input:
$escaped_quotes = str_replace( "\"", """, $string );
