I am trying to create a notifications system for my messaging project using bootstrap-growl. The system fetches new messages from mySQL perfectly and displays them with the notification. However, when the message has single quotes is when the game turns around.

setTimeout(function() {
    $.growl( { 
        title: 'Samantha', 
        message: 'May we go to that pizza place tonight?'
    });
}, 3000);

That code works perfectly, yet it still goes wrong. Any advice on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Remember, I'm still learning.

How exactly do you transmit values from MySQL to JavaScript? – Álvaro González Apr 16 '14 at 16:28
No, let me explain: I echo a PHP variable into the script. – user3542010 Apr 16 '14 at 16:47

That's the answer, thanks. – user3542010 Apr 16 '14 at 16:52
