Why Event handler treated as text?

Hi I'm trying to tweak a large php application & have tried adding the following line into the main code but it just results in the line printing out onto the screen rather than executing it
I'm sure there's an easy answer though I have tried a number of ways, being a bit new 'n'all, any pointers would be much appreciated

The slashes basically apply/allow the quotation marks with <?PHP tags.

I'd recommend doing all your function calls before you output & store that in a string. Then, put your output in heredocs so you don't need to put all those escapes in.

onload is an event. As such it has to be attached to some element
Supported by the following HTML tags:
<body>, <frame>, <frameset>, <iframe>, <img>, <link>, <script>
and not by itself in the middle of the HTML, like in your code.
Take a look at
W3Schools Onload event
