Wrap a DIV around PHP code?

  • First of I wanna say that I'm not good in describing things especially in english so bare with me :oops:

    So, I'm really lost here, I have this major problem and I'm really confused.. I'm making a guestbook in PHP and it works just fine, but what I REALLY would love to do is to have the post's wrapped inside of a css div.. And that's a big problem, because I can't write like this:


    <?php

    <div id=\"mydiv\">

    echo \"Hey people\";

    </div>

    ?>


    If I just wrap a DIV outside of ALL the php code, then it will only come in one div.. I want it like when users submit there message in the form, there message will be stored with the rest of the comments, but in there own div's..

    I dont know how to explain this, but it's only some of the php code, the actual outcome I want to wrap in a DIV.. And theres no way I can you css directly inside of php??

    Hope somebody understand's me, and can help me out here..

    Thank's so far

  • Problem solved, you can close this thread. :D
  • Wait!

    I need the answer to this question too!

    @BrianZet - How did you figure this one out?
  • Thur, I'm not sure if your problem is exactly the same as the original topic... but you can echo divs just like any other element you might echo out:

    echo "<div>";

    and

    echo "</div>";
  • echo "<div>" . $elevData[1] . "</div>";

    surely wouldnt that put the data in a div?
  • You don't need to echo every line individually...

    <?php

    echo '<div id=\"mydiv\">Hey people</div>';

    ?>

    or
    <?php ?>

    <div id=\"mydiv\">

    Hey people

    </div>

    <? ?>
