Question

I am trying to make a function that will allow me to easy display messages in my pages using PHP.

My function:

/*
* Function to easy write modal / help boxes
*/
function modal($title, $message)
{
        echo '
        <!-- HELP MODAL -->
        <div style="display:none;">
            <div id="help" class="modal-content inline">
            <h3>'.$title.'</h3>
            '.$message.'
            </div>
        </div>
        <!-- END HELP MODAL -->         
        ';
}

And my PHP code:

<?php echo modal("Title Message","Message <br /> <a href='link'>link</a>"); ?>

This does not work. I have turned on error_reporting, but see no error.

What am I doing wrong?

Try to return the echo statement from your modal function.

$text = '<div> Your div </div>';
return $text;

OR

Make a exit after echo statement in your modal function

echo '<div> Your div </div>';
exit;
