Question

I have a div that I want to put one image inside, how could I do something like that:

Javascript:

<script>
    document.getElementById("people").innerHTML =
    document.getElementById("people").innerHTML + "<img src='farmer.gif'>";
</script>

Html:

<html>
  <body>
    <div id = "people"></div>
  </body>
</html>

in PHP? Im so fustrated I can do it in JS but I need to do it in PHP but I don't know how...

Hope you can help me! :D

I'm almost certain of putting a div inside an image will result in invalid html. — Mark Rijsmus, May 15 '14 at 10:10
@MarkRijsmus OP wants to put an `img` inside of a `div`, it's just worded badly — billyonecan, May 15 '14 at 10:11
JS is client side, meaning it can detect things after being made. PHP is server side and usually done before HTML is generated so at that point, no ID's exist yet. — ggdx, May 15 '14 at 10:11

Fast VERY DIRTY WAY: do ob_start(); at the first line of the script

do echo "<div>%imag1flag%</div>";

do $content = ob_get_clean(); at the end of the script

change contnet with $content = str_replace('%imag1flag%','<img ...>',$content);

But wonder why you didnt paste the image in the first place eg:

echo "<div><img ...></div>";

Keep in Mind Javascript is Statefull PHP is NOT Statefull.

When u got that, maybe you will laugth about your Question ;)

Bye!
