title: How can I validate a sentence using PHP and JavaScript?
body: <p>I am currently trying to validate if the sentence a user enters matches the expected sentence. The expected sentence is stored in a PHP variable <code>$rebuiltSentence</code>, for example 'the cat sat'.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that when I try to call my JavaScript function <code>formSubmit()</code> I need to give it the sentence to check, therefore ideally I would call formSubmit($rebuiltSentence). I think this won't work because it thinks it is being passed several separate strings.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I've got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//sentence.php
  
  &lt;input type='button' value='Submit' onClick=formSubmit('$rebuiltSentence')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>//validate.js
  function formSubmit(correct)
  {
  var contents = document.getElementById('sentenceBuilder').value;
  if(contents==correct){
  
      alert('The Sentences Match');
  }else{
      alert('The Sentences Dont Match');
  }
  
  window.location.reload(true);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas how I can solve this?</p>
