Question

I’m using PHP to generate some HTML,

<?php
$news = NewsDat();

foreach($news as $single_new)
{
    echo $single_new[0] . " - " . $single_new[2] . "\n";
}
?>

I want to insert the results of this to a specific div in the page <div class="main">.

How can I take the results and insert it into that div?

I cant edit the body of the page only the Header so i’m doing all this work in the header.

Answer 1

Use the .html jQuery method to set HTML contents.

<?php
$news = NewsDat();

$html = '';
foreach($news as $single_new)
{
    $html .= $single_new[0] . " - " . $single_new[2] . "\n";
}
?>

and then in your head’s script tag:

$(function() {
  $('div.main').html('<?php echo str_replace("'", "\\'", $html); ?>');
});
