Question

I have a class with a method called paint() so i call $object->paint(); and it returns the html code to display the object the way i like it.
In a function, i have an array of those objects, so i do something like this:

$code = '<p class="wrapper">';
foreach( $object_arr as $object ){
    $code .= $object->paint();
}
$code .='</p>';
echo $code;

but the result iḿ getting is this:

<p class="wrapper"></p>
<figure id="f1">Figure 1</figure>
<figure id="f2">Figure 2</figure>
...
<figure id="fn">Figure n</figure>

The function paint() returns the code to paint the object, i was expecting to see:

<p class="wrapper">
    <figure id="f1">Figure 1</figure>
    <figure id="f2">Figure 2</figure>
    ...
    <figure id="fn">Figure n</figure>
</p>

What am i doing it wrong?

Answer 1

The result you’re looking at might be corrected by your browser. p does not accept figure as a child, so the browser might correct it by closing your first <p class="wrapper">.
