echo message after if statement at specific point in html

[calmchess]

I am generating a message to the user dependent upon wheter or not an if statement fires. the if statement is sepertated a by other html code other than the target  html code that i want the message to show up in  i've tried to specify a function to be called to display the message in the target html code but the message always appears at the point that I called the function.......How do I specify the point where an echo should occur when the if statement fires?

A sample of the code would help a great bit.

the begining of the code is the target (where i want the message to appear) and the end of the code is the if statements generating the messages.
