PHP Drives me crazy - Please help!

[liam1412]

Okay just a basic one

I have just built the registration page of my first member system. I don't want to just paste all the code in coz its not relevant so i'll just explain.

above the form I have a line of code something like

[code]<?php if(isset($reg_error){ echo ?><p class="error"><?php $reg_error) } ?></p>[/code]

Im not 100% percent this code is exactly right as im at work and i don't have the code on me. I know it works tho and it is very similar to this.

The form posts to my php in a seperate file where $reg_error is set if any problems are encountered.

My question

Why no matter what I do is the the value of $reg_error splitting its self into 2 lines.  Its prob something so simple but its driving me crazy.

ie - If the reg error is something like. 'Your passwords do not match! Please try again!

will display above my form
Your passwords do no
match! Please try again

I have also checked that table cell is long enough that line of code is in.

Thanks All

It would have to be something in the css definition of error. php has nothing to do with presentation.

when you ?><div><? or the likes... you dont need to echo it...
and this is much easier :-)
[code]
<?
if(isset($reg_error) echo '<p class="error">';
?>
[/code]
