With PHP echo I want to get this in the browser:
var x = "<td><a class=\"button3\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"" + a + "_" + y + "\" id=\"something\" value=\"\" class=\"inputText\"></a></td>";
How to escape this in PHP ?

You do not seem to be using single quotes ' so wrapping your line of code in a string is quite easy when using single quotes.
To literally show the text in your browser, you can use the htmlentities() function and echo it to output it to the browser:
echo htmlentities('var x = "<td><a class=\"button3\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"" + a + "_" + y + "\" id=\"something\" value=\"\" class=\"inputText\"></a></td>";');
It will convert all characters that are used in HTML to create tags. For example < is converted to < so it displays the correct character. Please take a look at the available flags and select the ones you require for properly displaying your line of code.

No this doesn't work, after var x = there appears a col. Look here bit.ly/WT4xzi

Your resulting code is full of
<br>, you need to use echo "\n"; for newlines. After replacing (some of) them with newlines, you code looks ok to me... I do not know what you mean by ' after var x = there appears a col . '.Nick
There is no difference between using echo "\n"; and echo "<br>";

Do you get the same like this bit.ly/VhPjcQ ? I don't want to get the col after var x =" I just want to get var x = "<td><a class=\"button3\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"" + a + "_" + y + "\" id=\"something\" value=\"\" class=\"inputText\"></a></td>"; in the browser

Updated my answer again, to show how you can show your line of code in its literal form in a browser.
