How to put variable or function inside $this->output or html??

Question

 

I am thinking this is probably a syntax error?.  Basically all I want to do is put the search bar inside another div that is inside the login-bar div.

 

 

 

This is shortened version of the code

 

 

 

function body_header() 

{

$this->output('<div id="qa-login-bar"><div id="qa-login-group">

 

     $this->output ('

 

          <div>

 

               $this->search();

 

         </div>

 

          ');

 

 

 $this->output('</div></div>');

 }

 

When I do this, I get a blank page.  Any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong? t/y

Answer 1

I think I am figuring it out by simplifying it down.  I think I wasn't using $this->output to close one of the divs.

It was:
....
$this->output('<div>');
$this->search();
$this->output('</div>');
....
