How to fix html in php echo

Question

I'm having trouble using the echo function in php. I don't fully understand when double quotes, single quotes, and escaping quotes are necessary. I've tried several variations and I can't seem to get it to show up. I know how to echo basic html, but I've not used classes before, I think that might be the dealbreaker here.

Edit: flagged for being a duplicate, I'm new here, not really sure what to do. But it's not duplicate post, the other post uses elements that I'm not familiar with using, this was just straight html. Thank you.

<?php echo  "<div id=\"resume-links\" style='display:flex;float:right;''>
<a class='button button--type-action--size-medium' href='/myaccount' style='margin-right:10px;''>Dashboard →</a>
<a class='button button--type-action--size-medium' href='#popmake-1301'>Get Featured →</a>
</div>
<div id=\"resume-link\" style='clear:both;float:right;padding-top:10px;font-style:italic;'><p><a href='/article-submissions'>Learn More</a></p></div>";?>

Basically, since you are echoing a string and you wrap your string with ", you have to escape your " in your echo or php will treat the quote as end of your string. By escaping your ", you tell php that the quote should be printed and is not the closing of the string. — josephting

Wow! That was quick responses. I have to report that I was a complete bonehead and forgot that I had hidden the divs with CSS. Turns out, I guess I can figure it out. Also exiting out of php makes a whole lot of sense. Sometimes you overthink things I guess. btw, it's not a duplicate post as suspected*. Thank you again! — joy

you can wrap single quotes inside double quotes

echo " <div id='resume-id'>qwerty</div> ";

you can wrap double quotes inside single quotes

echo '<div id ="resume-id">qwerty</div>';

you can use escape character when your wrapper quotes are same as inner quotes

echo "<div id =\"resume-id\">qwerty</div>";

or

echo '<div id ="resume-id">qwerty\'s</div>';

output : qwerty's

Thank you - this is a helpful guide. Is there any right/wrong way to do it? Is there a suggested standard or is either way deemed acceptable?

it's all up to your preference, you can use any way

wrapping with double quotes is more standard way

Use Heredoc syntax.

Example :

$str = <<<EOD
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title></title>
</head>

EOD;
