Make two lines of php print one line..

I have a snippet of PHP code that does what I want except it prints on two lines instead of one. It is necessary for it to print on one line. PHP 5.3. any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

<div id="footer" class="c-b">
<div class="footer-inner">
<?php if ($page['footer']): print render($page['footer']); endif; ?>
<div class="c-b"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer-message">
<div class="footer-inner">
<div id="footer"> &copy 2012. All Rights Reserved. <?php print $footer_message . $footer ?></div>
<a href="http://premiumcmsthemes.com" target="_blank" class="pt_logo"></a>
<?php print $feed_icons; ?>
</div>
</div> 
</div>

To which "lines" are you referring? Anything contained within a <div> is going to be on its own line by default because <div> automatically gets a new line beneath it when rendered to the screen. This is because it is a block element. If you change the display property to inline or inline-block, then you can override this default behavior.

Is it the <div>s you are referring to?

These two lines need to print as one.

<div id="footer"> &copy 2012. All Rights Reserved. <?php print $footer_message . $footer ?></div>
<a href="http://premiumcmsthemes.com" target="_blank" class="pt_logo"></a>
<?php print $feed_icons; ?>

Tried changing to

<div id="footer"> &copy 2012. All Rights Reserved.</div> <?php print $footer_message . $footer ?>
<a href="http://premiumcmsthemes.com" target="_blank" class="pt_logo"></a>
<?php print $feed_icons; ?>

but got the same result.

Looked like <a pr <span might work but they did not. I guess I do not understand.

I don't know if this is helpful but this is your code without styling or other items of code

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$page = array('footer' => 'Some footer text goes here');
$footer = "Some footer text goes here";
$footer_message = "Some additional footer text goes here";
?>
<div id="footer" class="c-b">
  <div class="footer-inner">
<?php if ($page['footer']): print $page['footer']; endif; ?>
    <div class="c-b"></div>
</div>
    <div id="footer-message">
      <div class="footer-inner">
        <div id="footer"> &copy 2012. All Rights Reserved. <?php print $footer_message . $footer ?></div>
        <a href="http://premiumcmsthemes.com" target="_blank" class="pt_logo"></a>
      </div>
    </div> <!-- /footer-message -->
</div> <!-- /footer -->
</body>
</html>

Open in new window

Which produces the following output

 Some footer text goes here
© 2012. All Rights Reserved. Some additional footer text goes hereSome footer text goes here

Open in new window

If this is not what you want then you have to look at the structure of your text. Maybe post back
a) What you are getting
b) What you would like

If thesolution provided by Julian does not work, you should verify the values of ($footer_message and $footer) that does not contain inside some <div> or <p> tags .....

i suggest to post the footer output that you are getting (view source) to be able to help you in a better way.

Good Luck!

How about

 <div id="footer"><?php print "&copy 2012. All Rights Reserved.".$footer_message . $footer ?></div>
              <a href="http://premiumcmsthemes.com" target="_blank" class="pt_logo"></a>
          <?php print $feed_icons; ?>

Open in new window

What do you want it to output?
NB your last anchor is not closed

<a class="feed-icon" title="Subscribe to www.systrends.com RSS" href="/?q=rss.xml"> <== no closing </a>

Does your <a> tag have display: inline; value in css file ?

ASKER

put the <a class="feed-icon"...> onto the same line as the My Company 2012 and check your styling that you are not styling it to be of type block. --- Done

No change

Does your <a> tag have display: inline; value in css file ? ---

not shure what you're asking but I don't think so. Here is the code.

<div id="footer" class="c-b">
<div class="footer-inner">
<?php if ($page['footer']): print render($page['footer']); endif; ?>
<div class="c-b"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer-message">
<div class="footer-inner">
<div id="footer"><?php print "&copy Systrends 2012. All Rights Reserved. " . $footer_message . $footer ?> <?php print $feed_icons; ?></div>
</div>
</div> 
</div>

Lukasz Chmielewski

The code

<?php print $feed_icons; ?>

Is the second line, right ?
You have to see what's inside $feed_icons variable and add a styling to it in css file with
display: inline;

Can you please put the code with rss back on page, so we can see it online ?
