Passing a URL that has spaces inside a javascript function

I am a attempting to pass a URL inside a javascript onclick function but it returns missing ) error on console log, i experiment on it and found out that the URL contains special characters and sometimes spaces that escape the onclick event.

I am getting the url from a PHP script

$actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

and passing it on a onclick event

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" id="main" onclick="getContent(<?php echo $actual_link;?>);">Content 1</a>

My question is how to pass a url text inside a javascript function.

Your missing a '' inside the getContent function.

onclick="getContent('<?php echo $actual_link;?>');">

You need quotes around the php output in order to pass string to function:

 onclick="getContent('<?php echo $actual_link;?>');">
