was working now not :S echo in html

i have this div that is positioned nice on my banner
but the php echo is not echoing where the div is positioned on the page. its echoing at the very top of the page even though i put the php in the div.

here is the code:

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit1'])) {
logout();
}
?>

<div id="apDiv6">
<?php

function logout()
{

      if ($_SESSION['u_name'])
      {
            session_destroy();
      echo "You've been logged out.";}
      else{
            echo "You where not logged in!";
            }
}
?>
</div>

<div id="two">

<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST">
<table width="65" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="3" class="table1">
<td width="57">
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Log out"></td>
</table>
</form>
</div>

#apDiv6 {/*css postitions for my echo*/
      position:absolute;
      width:458px;
      height:45px;
      z-index:4;
      left: 183px;
      top: 61px;
}
i allso have some more css for the button here to. what i show here is just a part of my code

so how come the echo is not displayed where i placed the div?
i just want my echo to be displayed in the place i want to position it at :( was working a few hours ago.

      if ($_SESSION['u_name'])
      {
            session_destroy();
      echo "You've been logged out.";}
      else{
            echo "You where not logged in!";
            }

Open in new window

 if ($_SESSION['u_name']) {
	session_destroy();
	echo "You've been logged out.";}
else{
	echo "You where not logged in!";
}

Open in new window

I have made spacing proper. I had same problem yesterday, hope it helps.

i try that and nothing changes

What if you add <p> and </p>.

if ($_SESSION['u_name']) {
        session_destroy();
        echo "<p>You've been logged out.</p>";
}else{
        echo "<p>You where not logged in!</p>";
}

Open in new window

Also I have rewrote the code and made it nicer if you're interested (you want to put echo after the logout button right?).

Ups a mistake on line 19 of code in my last post. Should be You were not logged in instead of You've been logged out
