[SOLVED] Where do I add <div> to php Code?

[bgbs]

I would like to wrap all Error messages in one <div> block.

Where do I began the DIV tag and where do I end it?

 

	
if (!empty($_POST['action'])) 
{

$action = $_POST['action'];
$passwordExisting = $_POST['passwordExisting'];
$passwordNew = $_POST['passwordNew'];
$passwordConfirm = $_POST['passwordConfirm'];



}

if ($action == "change")
{
if (empty($passwordExisting)  )
	{
	$errors .= "<p>» You didn't enter your Existing Password</p>";
	}
if (empty($passwordNew))
	{
	$errors .= "<p>» You didn't enter a New Password</p>";
	}
if (empty($passwordConfirm))
	{
	$errors .= "<p>» You didn't enter a Confirmed New Password</p>";
	}
if ($passwordConfirm != $passwordNew)
	{
	$errors .= "<p>» Your New Password and Confirmed Password Do Not Match.</p>";
	}



$p_user = $db->get_row("SELECT first_name FROM user WHERE uvar = '$uvar' AND pass='$passwordExisting'");

if (empty($p_user->first_name))
	{
	//password is wrong
	$errors .= "» You entered the wrong Exiting Password. <p><a href='../forgot.php'>If you forgot your existing password, click here.</a></p>";
	}
else
	{
	// user does exist, set cookie and redirect
	if (empty($errors))
		{

		$db->query("UPDATE user SET pass = '$passwordNew' WHERE uvar = '$uvar'");
		$success = "<div class='updated-message'>Your password has been changed.</div>";

		$passwordExisting = "";
		$passwordNew = "";
		$passwordConfirm = "";



		}

	}

just concatenate it where ever you echo the $errors.

[mikesta707]

just wrap the div tags around the variable itself. before you echo $error do

$error = "<div>" . $error ."</div>";

 

edit: ahh sorry, too late.

You mean where I output the error?

 

If I put this: <?PHP $error = "<div>" . $error . "</div>"; ?>

then it doesnt work. the div box and Errors dont appear at all.

[mikesta707]

well you obviously have to echo it...

[bgbs]

See, I dont understand any other language accept for english.

I can do simple echo.  But I dont know how to echo your statement, that is beyond my ability to understand.

 

[mikesta707]

?

echo $error;

 

????? im confused, how did you echo $error before?

What we're all simply trying to tell you here... in a copy and paste sort of way is:

 

Instead of this

$error = "" . $error ."";

 

use this

echo "" . $error ."";

[bgbs]

originally I'm outputting it like this <?PHP echo $errors; ?>

 

But, if I understand you correctly, you want me to out put like this:  <?PHP echo "<div class='error-message'>" . $error ."</div>"; ?> which only outputs div

oops, I guess it should have been $errors not $error

 

Thanks guys, it works now.

I appreciate your help.
