In PHP, echo a div with the id of a variable

Question

i want to echo a div in PHP, and set the ID equal to the value of $divName, but i cannot get it to work

Here is my code:

$divName = "divText"
echo '<div id=$divName></div>'

you should study more the basics about PHP like how to echo: http://php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php Follow some tutorials for starters first — CDrosos, Jul 26 '16 at 23:16

Just do it like this:

$divName = "divText";
echo '<div id="'.$divName.'"></div>';

You should read the PHP Documentation. This is really basic stuff. http://php.net/docs.php

If I wanted some prefix to that div id, would then be echo '
'; ? – code-is-life Jul 30 '22 at 10:00

Why you don't add semicolons (;) at the end of each command line?

Change single quotes (') to double quotes (") and that it:

$divName = "divText";
echo "<div id=$divName></div>";
