Too easy?

Hello NG!

Please have a look at the following lines of code:


<html>
<head>
<script>
function show(what) {
alert(what);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$name="Hello 'World'";
echo '<a href="javascript:show(\''.$name.'\')">Test</a>';
?>
</body>
</html>


The question is: how to safely quote the variable name? Via a build in
php or js function?
Please note that I know simple write $name="Hello \'World\'"; will
solve the problem, but thats not the point here.

Thanks in advance

René
