HTML within PHP syntax [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to show a submit button based on a logical statement using PHP and HTML, but I can't figure out the syntax.

if(isset($_POST['newSubmit'])){ 
    <input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" />;    
}

This doesn't seem to work. Do I need to use an echo statement?

Use echo, echo '<input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" /> '; — Saad Suri

Use this <?php ..... if(isset($_POST['newSubmit'])){ ?> <input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" />; <?php } ?> — Karthick Anbazhagan

You have to do echo in php or write input outside php

1) echo to display

<?php if(isset($_POST['newSubmit'])){ 
   echo '<input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" />';    
} ?>

2)write html Out side php

<?php if(isset($_POST['newSubmit'])){ ?>
    <input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" />
<?php } ?>

When generating html in php you need to either use echo or enclose php tags

<?php
if(isset($_POST['newSubmit'])){ 
    echo '<input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" />';    
}
?>

or

<?php
if(isset($_POST['newSubmit'])){?> 
<input type="submit" name="newSubmit" id="newSubmit" value="Select" />    
<?php}?>
