Question

I’m creating divs with dynamic names using php such as:

echo "<div class=\"".$row['country']."\">"

So it’s going to first create a series of divs such as …

<div class="America">
   //stuff goes in here
</div>

<div class="Germany">
   //stuff goes in here
</div>

<div class="Singapore">
   //stuff goes in here
</div>

But later on in the code after the “Germany” div has already been created, I’m going to make another mysql query to a different table and I want to access the “Germany” class and add content in it. It then becomes something like…

 <div class="Germany">
    <p> Germany has x number of people </p>
    <p> The most popular car in Germany is x </p>
</div>

I know with Jquery there is the append() function. Is there something similar in PHP where I can access a div that’s already been created and add stuff to it?

Note: all of this is in one php file that loads all the content when the page loads.

Answer 1

I think you can create an array like

$div["Amereica"] = "America"

And in future you can append value to this array. eg.

$div["Amereica"] .= 'text to append';

And finally you can use implode function or using other array functions you can crate final html.
