Well, look at your source. What's the output here? And even if it would =
=

work, why would you keep overwriting the abc variable? (BTW: allthough n=
ot =

required, it's a good idea to finish javascript lines with ';'.)

echo "abc=3D'".addslashes($temp_image_name)."';";

Keep in mind PHP does _NOT_ communicate with javascript. It will output =
=

something that could be valid javascript, but doesn't care wether it's =

javascript, the latest budget report or some very deep poetry.
