使用CSS样式表格式化PHP值

Question

I'm trying to format a PHP value from my script with a CSS style so it look the same then my html text preceding it. Here is my code:

<p>Your surname is: </p><?php echo "<div id='php'>" $surname; "</div>" ?>

what i'd like to get is

Your name is Remi

all formatted the same way, what I get now is just an error and my PHP page does not show at all.

Answer 1

You have to use . (a dot) to concatenate your strings:

<p>Your surname is: <?php echo "<span id='php'>" .  $surname . "</span>"; ?></p>

edit: you should use a span tag, not a div, to enhance your php output.
