Send data with button from php to JavaScript

Question

Hi i want to send data from php code to JavaScript and JavaScript code send themes to another php file like below:

<td>
  <input type="submit" value="Edit" name="edit" id="edit"    
     onclick="sendToEdit(
               <?php echo $row['pID']?>
              ,<?php echo $row['phID']?>
              ,<?php echo $testHistoryDate ?>
              ,<?php echo (string)$type ?>);"/>

when i debug with firebug i see php code make true values in the php area but when send themes to JavaScript can't send
<?php echo $testHistoryDate ?>,<?php echo (string)$type ?>);
true values and send another date for testHistoryDate and true value for (string)$type
but fire bug make below error:

Phibrinozhen is not defined
[Break On This Error]
sendToEdit(9004, 119002, 1997, Phibrinozhen);

in the above code 1997 isn't true value
true value is:

onclick="sendToEdit(9004,119002,2010-10-03,Phibrinozhen);"

that php make but JavaScript JavaScript code

function sendToEdit(pID,phID,thDate,type) 

Answer 1

The error is occurring because you trying to pass string literals without telling JavaScript they are strings. You need to escape at least your final two parameters with quotes: '2010-10-0', 'Phibrinozhen'.

Answer 2

<td><input type="submit" value="Edit" name="edit" id="edit" onclick="sendToEdit('<?php echo $row['pID'] ?>','<?php echo $row['phID']?>','<?php echo $testHistoryDate ?>','<?php echo (string)$type ?>');"  />
