help with escaping quotes

Hi, newbie here.

Could someone show me how to properly escape the quotes in this code so it works properly? I'm having major problems with it, thanks.

 

echo "<td style="background-color:#fff"
onMouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ff9900';"
onMouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff';">"

It's easier to use single quotes when echoing HTML. That way you don't have to escape each attribute's opening and closing quote with a blackslash:

 

echo '<td style="background-color:#fff"
onMouseover="this.style.backgroundColor=\'#ff9900\';"
onMouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=\'#fff\';">';

 

Of course in your situation you do actually use single quotes, but normally it would be easier.
