SyntaxError: unterminated string literal Javascript Console Error Solved

When you Assigned multi-line PHP string variable to javascript variable then it will create “SyntaxError: unterminated string literal” which you can see in console section if firebug extension is installed in your Mozilla firefox browser.

If you are assigning a string value which contain new line characters or HTML in more than one line and this variable will further used as a value in some Jaascript variable then you have to use PHP addcslashes() function before sending.

Let’s see how you can do this:

In PHP:

$product_desc = addcslashes($_simpleproduct['description'],"\\\'\"\n\r");

In Javascript:

var pro_desc = '<?php echo $product_desc; ?>';

var pro_desc = '<?php echo $product_desc; ?>';

var pro_desc = '<?php echo $product_desc; ?>';

Now,  above code will work fine and will display no more error in firebug console and also no more headche in your head.
