Call a JS function from HTML inside PHP

Question

I am trying to join three languages with no luck.
I need to call javascript function to add clicked text to textarea, which is inside php with html.

This is what I tried as my best with no luck:

$hint .= "<br>" . "<a href='#' onclick='addtext(". $name .")'> " . $name . " </a> ";

I think I need somehow to echo that $name inside addtext() function, but don't know how, because I can't write statement inside another. I think so, because when I debug code, I see that this is recognized not as string but as attribute property:

enter image description here

JS function:

function addtext(str) {
    var newtext = str;
    document.getElementById("msg").value += newtext;
}

Please suggest a working solution to this problem.

What does a string need to be surrounded by in order to be recognized as a string? — ElGavilan, Nov 14 '14 at 13:43
I can't get it to work because my quotes get different when I surround it: $hint .= "
" . " " . $name . " "; Kokių dokumentų reikia gamybinei praktikai atlikti? — Neone, Nov 14 '14 at 13:54

Put your string inside function with quotation marks ;)

Please write me how it must look like, because it doesn't go with added single quotes.. – Neone Nov 14 '14 at 14:05

$hint .= "
" . " " . $name . " "; - should work – Przemysław Kaczmarczyk Nov 14 '14 at 14:19
I made it in a simpler way: $hint .= '
' . '' . $name . ' '; and js function was edited to: function addtext(link) { var newtext = link.innerHTML; – Neone Nov 14 '14 at 14:28
