Alert isn't a native PHP command so:
<?php alert('echo addslashes($errorMsg);'); ?>
wouldn't work... This might though:
<?php
$string = "Can't connect to DB"; // or 'Can\'t connect to DB';
echo '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">alert(\'' .
addslashes($string) . '\'); </script> '; ?>
?>
I think the line breaks may go a bit wonky :|
