How to include a css link in hidden input using PHP

Question

I am trying to include a CSS link in hidden input value using PHP. but it not including properly as shown in the image.

Code

<?php 
            $minCss='<link href="'.$bootstrap_js_link.'" rel="stylesheet">';

?>
 <input type="hidden" value="'<?php echo $minCss; ?>'" id="snippet_resource"/>

You want a full `` tag within the attribute? That's very odd, but look into `htmlspecialchars` then. — Jeto, Apr 17 '19 at 14:42
because in your $minCss variable you have id="snippet_resource"/> — Sfili_81, Apr 17 '19 at 14:42

You need to escape HTML entities to include your value into the attribute. You may use htmlspecialchars:

<input type="hidden" value="<?= htmlspecialchars($minCss) ?>" id="snippet_resource" />

thanks, it worked for me... someone voted this negative... is it silly question? – Upasana Chauhan Apr 17 '19 at 14:49
@UpasanaChauhan I think it was unclear why you were doing what you were doing. It probably seemed a rather unusual thing to do, sending that string as a form input. I can't say for sure, because I was not the downvoter. – TecBrat Apr 17 '19 at 15:07
