Display HTML code?

[Stickbread]

I'm using php to generate a javascript script... (very ugly).

In fact, this quest

I've downloaded the html source of a webpage with php, and now I would like to display that page using javascript.

I've wrapped each line in a document.write(), but I'm having difficulty with quotation marks, apostraphies, etc...

Is there any quick way to add all of the appropriate escape characters so that a block of html will be display correctly? PHP's addslashes seems to be missing a few things for javascript code.

If you already have the code in a PHP variable, can you just write it out with PHP? Why do you have to use JavaScript?

Yup, I agree with adam0101. Use something like this:

<?php
print '<sometag>What you want to display</sometag>';?>

Can't rember the exact code on the fly, but I am fairly sure this is it, or at least very close. Hope it helps.

to print a quote mark with javascript preceed it with a backward slash ie. \"

this is also required for other "special" characters in Javascript to get them to print into the HTML.

Encode source with PHP htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities(), then put it into <XMP>... </XMP> block.

Not to be a smartass, but should'nt it be a <pre> tag?
