Question

I am learning PHP by myself and I wonder if you guys can help me to solve my problem. I want to concatenate 2 variables that are align right in the form of an hyperlink with a word. I can do that no problem, but the word is not getting aligned right as well. I have tried somethings, but it doesnt work. Please see my code:

<?php
     $log = ( '<a style="float:right; "href="login.php">login </a>'  ) ;
     $reg = ( '<a style="float:right; "href="login.php">register </a>' );
     echo $log ." or " .  $reg;
?>

I need login or register to be displayed on the top right of the page, but I dont want to hyperlink the word “or”.
Also, if you guys have any links for good tutorials on PHP or tutorials on how to create a good website design, maybe templates, please paste here. I am starting with websites now and I am learning by myself. Any help is appreciatted. 🙂

Answer 1

You probably are thinking wrong in terms of HTML/CSS markup. HTML code that will be generated by your script looks as follows:

<a style="float:right; "href="login.php">login </a> or <a style="float:right; "href="login.php">register </a>

It will first float “login” to the right, then append “register” to the left of “login”.
I would suggest doing it this way:

<?php
    $log = '<a href="login.php">login </a>';
    $reg = '<a href="login.php">register </a>';
    echo sprintf("<div style='float:right;'>%s or %s</div>", $log, $reg);
?>
