css - how to style php echo output

Question

It's probably stupid question, but I can not find an answer. How can I style echo output with css? I have this code:

echo "<div id="errormsg"> Error </div>";

Now it displays syntax error, I think because of those quotes around errormsg. I've tried single quotes, but with no effect. Thank you

When outputting HTML, it's easier to use single quotes so you can use proper double quotes inside like so:

echo '<div id="errormsg"> Error </div>';

That will get rid of your parse error... To edit the style you will need to use CSS with the selector of #errormsg like so:

#errormsg {
    color: red;
}
