<?php
if(get_field('member_only_content')){
echo "do something";
}else{
echo "do something else";
}
?>
How do I insert HTML code where it says "do something"? When removing echo "do something"; and pasting the HTML code the Wordpress site crashes.
Close and open the PHP blocks, like this:
if(get_field('member_only_content')){
?>
<html></html>
<?php
} else{
?>
<html></html>
<?php
}
You can also use PHP's alternative syntax for this:
if(get_field('member_only_content')): ?>
<html></html>
<?php else: ?>
<html></html>
<?php endif;
Like this!
<?php
if(get_field('member_only_content')) : ?>
<div>Html stuff</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div>More Html stuff</div>
<?php endif;
Put HTML in place of the string.
<?php
if(get_field('member_only_content')){
echo "<your>HTML here</your>";
}else{
echo "<other>HTML</other>";
}
?>
You can also break out of the PHP tags
<?php
if(get_field('member_only_content')){
?>
<your>HTML here</your>
<?
}else{
?>
<other>HTML</other>
<?
}
?>
That would be because you placed the HTML code within php tags (<?php ?>). Text inside this tag is interpreted as a PHP instruction, thus it won't render HTML. There are 2 general ways render the HTML in a PHP file:
<?php
if (get_field ('member_only_content')) {
echo "<span>Put HTML here</span>";
}
else {
echo "<span>Put HTML here</span>";
}
?>
<?php if (get_field ('member_only_content')): ?>
<span>Put HTML here</span>
<?php else: ?>
<span>Put HTML here</span>
<?php endif;?>
Or you can use the <<< statement:
echo <<<END
This uses the "here document" syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon. no extra whitespace!
END;
Straight from http://php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php
<?php
if(get_field('member_only_content')){
echo "<div style='background-color: #888888'>This is a simple string between div's, make sure you've to be careful while inserting too many single and double quotes in this string as well as inline styles</div>";
}else{
echo "do something else";
}
?>
Be careful while inserting quotes in your string.
Sample code
echo("<h1>This is a sample</h1>");
"like \"this\""
