Echo Functions Reverse Order

[cortez creations]

Hello All

New here and could use a bit of help.

 

Basically I have 2 separate functions that echo their results out in an html page.

My problem is the first function needs a value from the second function after it has run but needs to be echoed before the second for aesthetics.

 

Here's a bit of code to explain.

  <div class="bag"><br/><?php echo writeShoppingCart(); ?> </div>
<div id="contents">
<?php
echo showCart();
?>
</div>

So basically to work correctly I need showCart to finishing before calling writeShoppingCart()

I tried doing a redirect to the same page but it didn't like that.

Is there another way around this that I'm not aware of?

I suppose I could write a third function to get the value I need and call it before but I was hoping for a something a little cleaner.

 

Cheers

  <div class="bag"><br/><?php $showCart = showCart(); echo writeShoppingCart(); ?> </div>
<div id="contents">
<?php
echo $showCart;
?>
</div>
