Question

How can I make PHP print an error inline instead of changing the entire page?

I’d like it to target #errors and fill that instead of changing everything.

The code I’m currently using is die ("Incorrect username or password.");

I’m very new to PHP so sorry if this is a pretty easy thing to do.

Put the error in a variable where you do your logic and print its contents in #errors. For example:

if (username_is_incorrect()) $error = 'Incorrect username or password.';

And in the HTML

<?php if (isset($error)):?><div id="errors"><?=$error?></div><?php endif;?>
