Is there a PHP command to convert a $string of HTML

You need to escape "</" as "<\/" if PHP generates
script code as content of a HTML `script' element.

That's debatable.

PHP programming is off-topic here.

That is true, but, the implications of what PHP generates to Javascript executing in the UA *is* on-topic here. And in order to know what to do in PHP to make it JS friendly then you have to find out what is JS friendly first. And you find that out - gasp - in a Javascript newsgroup, not in a PHP group.

I get a undtermined string constant error sometimes.

Umm, you read too many of Thomas' Usenet posts?
