Javascript function argument error

Question

I'm using the following function:

<body onload="testing(<?php print "'". $_SESSION['data'] . "'"; ?>);">

if $_SESSION['data'] = "My name is function" then it works fine but

if $_SESSION['data'] = "Calling jackson's function" then it gives error.

Can you tell me how can i pass an argument which may contain characters like

$_SESSION['data'] = "Calling jackson's function"

into the testing function parameters.

Escape them with addslashes()

echo "'" . addslashes($_SESSION['data']) . "'";

You could do:

<body onload="testing(<?php print "'". addslashes($_SESSION['data']) . "'"; ?>);">
