<div> tag in php code

[skter4938]

Hello.

I have this code:
[code]<?php
if ($_SESSION['error_msg']) {
foreach ($_SESSION['error_msg'] as $val) {
echo "<div id='error'>$val</div><br />";
}
unset($_SESSION['error_msg']);
}
?>[/code]

And the [code]<div id='error'>$val</div><br />[/code] doesn't assign the div id to the $val.


Is there some other way I can assign the div id to $val?

That code should work if you have an array in $_SESSION['error_msg']. What does it generate?
Put the following line, for debugging, before the foreach:
[code]<?php echo '<pre>' . print_r($_SESSION['error_msg'],true) . '</pre>'; ?>[/code]
and see if $_SESSION['error_msg'] contains what you think it contains.

[code]Array
(
    [0] => Please enter in a valid email address.
)[/code]


that is what it gives me.

And the code is for a contact form. The form itself works, and the error messages are shown when somehting isn't filled in, but the <div> tags do not work :s

try it without the

code
[code]
unset($_SESSION['error_msg']);
[/code]

What do you mean by
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]but the <div> tags do not work[/quote]?

Do you have a test site up where we can test the form?

In the echo part of the code. I assigned a div ID to $val. They do not do anything. They should make the text that $val outputs an orange color, since the css file says so.

and I have the form up on [a href=\"http://www.webtodesign.net/contact/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.webtodesign.net/contact/[/a]

Try...
[code]
echo "<div id=\"error\">$val</div><br />";
[/code]

And is the CSS file actually loaded in the same script as the error messages are output?

That it is
