Question

I do render menu in HTML like that

<div id="mybuttonscontainer">


    <ul>        


<li><a href="<?php echo get_link('option1'); ?>"> Option 1</a></li>         


<li><a href="<?php echo get_link('option2'); ?>">Option 2</a></li>

    </ul>

</div>

Now I want to put that code into function

render_menu('current_option');

Do I have to put the whole string into one echo statement?

Answer 1

you can put it all in echo or just use it like that by wrapping it inside output buffering.

<?php
function render_menu($what_menu)
{
    ob_start();
    ?>
<!-- put all your previous html and php code here -->
    <?php
    $data = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $data;
}
?>
