two php dynamic variable syntax passed in javascript function

Question

I am trying to pass two variables in a JavaScript function that pop up a confirmation box before deleting a record from the database MySQL, but I think there is something wrong in the syntax.

Below is the code of the link that fires the confirmation box when it is clicked but it doesn't work and I am not sure if I am passing the parameters in a right way:

echo"<td><a href='javascript:promptbox(" . $myemail . "," . $appNo .")'>cancel</a></td>";

Can someone please let me know whether its a syntax error or is there any other problem?

Thanks

Strings in Javascript needs to be enclosed by quotes.

echo"<td><a href='javascript:promptbox(\"" . $myemail . "\",\"" . $appNo ."\")'>cancel</a></td>";
