adding for each clause into variable - php

Question

I have the following variable $prod_list_contents which is a mix of html and php METHODS to display the products from my database:
$prod_list_contents .= '<div style="width:100%;">';
$prod_list_contents .= '';
while ($listing = tep_db_fetch_array($listing_query)) {
$rows++;
$prod_list_contents .= '
<div class="cat_prod_box">
<div class="image">
<div class="cat_image_table">
<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES_CAT . $listing['products_image'], $listing['products_name'], 255, 340, 'class="cat_image_round"') . '
<div class="hidden_thing">Click to View</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cat_product_info" >';
$prod_list_contents .= '<div class="span_style_num">Style: '. $listing['products_model'] . '</div>';
$prod_list_contents .= '<div class="span_colors">Colors: red, blue</div>';
$prod_list_contents .= '<div class="span_product_name">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</div>';
$prod_list_contents .= '<div class="span_price">CAD ' .$currencies->display_price($listing['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($listing['products_tax_class_id'])) .'</div>' ;
$prod_list_contents .= '</div></div>';
}
$prod_list_contents .= ' </div>' .
' '
;
echo $prod_list_contents;
I am trying to incorporate a color table into the same div that is being displayed through this same variable. My color table is derived through the following bit of php:
<div >
<?php
$ctr = 0;
$clr=1;
foreach($products_options_array as $products_options_array2) {
$ctr++;
//if it is a color image, or a color hex
if($products_options_array2['color_image']!='')
{
$clr_sec = "style=\"background-image:url(images/pattern/".$products_options_array2['color_image'].") !important; height:28px; width:28px;\"" . "class=\"testy\"";
}
else {
$clr_sec = "style=\"background-color:".$products_options_array2['color_code']." !important; height:28px; width:28px;float:left;\"" . "class=\"testy\"";
}
?>
<div <?php echo $clr_sec;?>> </div>
<?php
$clr++;
} ?>
</div>
I have tried adding it into the prod_list_contents variable but I don't think I can because of the php here is not METHODS. and requires semi colons etc. Is there another way to go about this? Or am I able to add it in and I'm just being stupid?

Answer 1

If i understand your question correctly you wan to add $clr_sec to $prod_list_contents.
Just change
<div <?php echo $clr_sec;?>> </div>
to
$prod_list_contents.='<div '.$clr_sec.'</div>';
