PHP - Printing output to specific spot on html
| Posted by JustinAY, 06-22-2008, 04:48 PM |
| Hello!
I am wondering, how do you print output to specific spots on an HTML? I am trying to echo the variable I want printed in the spot I want on the page , however that doesn't appear to work. When I just echo it after using require() on the html page, it either goes to to the top or bottom.
Thanks for any help

| php
$i=2;
echo "The value is $i";
?>
try that

Yes. I realize how to echo. However, echoing the variable in the block (in the block of text) isn't working. However when I put this in the php file
$pingresult = shell_exec ("ping -c 3 $desiredhost");
echo (" $pingresult ");
It just echos it at the very bottom.

| Sounds like you may have some output buffering on or something like that.
are you using ob_start somewhere in your code?

| No, I don't have ob_start anywhere. Should I?
