How would I go about styling echo? - php

Question

I was wondering how would i go about styling a echo in php? im trying to style the paragraph tag nested inside one of the echos, i'd be grateful if anyone can tell me how to do this. thanks
PHP
if(isset($_SESSION['sess_user_id']) && $_SESSION['sess_user_name'] != "") {
echo '<h1>Welcome '.$_SESSION['sess_user_name'].'</h1>';
echo "<p id="profileText"This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>";
echo '<h4>Logout</h4>';
}
else {
header('location:index.php');
CSS
#profileText {
top: 40%;
position: absolute;
color: blue;
}

Answer 1

Better yet, don't do presentation from within your php logic. Consider this:
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['sess_user_id']) || $_SESSION['sess_user_name'] == "") {
header('location:index.php');
}
// do any other php stuff...
?>
<h1>Welcome <?= $_SESSION['sess_user_name'] ?></h1>
<p id="profileText">This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>
<h4>Logout</h4>
This way,
Your logic and presentation are clearly separated
If you want to change the presentation, you don't have to mess around with your php code
You don't have to worry about single quote / double quote / escape quote / blah, blah, blah.
You don't have to worry about output before the header
The programmer that comes after you will be amazed at how clean your code is :)
It lets you easily see typos: <p id="profileText"This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>

Answer 2

You have syntax error.
echo "<p id="profileText"This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>";
Use single quote in your echo.
echo "<p id='profileText'>This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>";
If you are use double quote in your echo, you can't use another double quote in your string. You can do on this way:
echo "<p id=\"profileText\"> This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>";
Or you can use single quote on your string
echo "<p id='profileText'>This is your personal profile page, from here you can edit events</p>";
