PHP nested loop echos must not break into new line

Question

Here is my code segment:

for($i=0;$i<23;$i++){
    echo "<div id=slotshead></div>";
    for($j=0;$j<30;$j++) {
        echo " <div id=slots></div>";
    }
    echo '<br>';
}

But, it doesn't work. I want the two echo statements inside the loop to be continued, not break into a new line. How can I fix it?

If you dont want it to create new lines why do you have echo '
'? — , Mar 16 '13 at 02:03
Why are you applying the CSS to the H3 when that's what's wrapping all the block-level content within it? Further, you're explicitly putting a line-break after each `$i` loop... I'm completely lost on what you're trying to do. — animuson, Mar 16 '13 at 02:03
I want the two echos inside the loops to be joined as one line.... — ZameerMoh, Mar 16 '13 at 02:04
@MohammedZameer: Those `
`s and `
`s you're printing out...there will be 23 and 690 of each, respectively, with the same IDs. A number of browsers will positively hate that, and you'll have a heck of a time trying to access the elements by ID. You'll probably want to use classes instead of IDs here. — cHao, Mar 16 '13 at 02:19
@cHao Thank you mate, I understood what IDs are..I changed it! ...thanx — ZameerMoh, Mar 16 '13 at 02:32

If you just want to have each looped output display in a single line, you were nearly there.

Add the following to CSS; and you're done.

h3 > div {
    display: inline-block;
}

It'll generate the output as this fiddle.

If I understand what you're asking... this will combine your loops:

 for ($i = 0; $i < 23; $i++) {
   echo "<div id=slotshead></div>";
   for ($j = 0; $j < 30; $j++) {
     echo " <div id=slots></div>";
   }
 }
 echo '<br>';

I need slothead to be at first. e.g [slothead][slot][slot][slot][slot]
[slothead][slot][slot][slot][slot] – ZameerMoh Mar 16 '13 at 02:13
Edited and moved the `
` outside of the loops. What kind of output are you expecting? (Where should the `
`s be?) – Aiias Mar 16 '13 at 02:15
